Monty,
can you comment on the "sport" line of odo plugs? the reds purples and pink with green dot ones
How different are they from the usual "race" plugs a la 77, 97, 100 and such?
Thanks,
Paul

I would if I have tried them paul , I have payed attention to them but am not gonna carry them as the other plugs seem to work very well . I don't think they are made in the same factory though so that could be a determining factor on why I Don't use them even though I am sure they are fine

Fair - thanks

I really wish I could've finished that race. I would like to know the mileage with the 7.5mm. I'll put the 8.0 for my next race. I must drive efficiently cause my +4 can pit at 12 minutes on a regular basis. AT the Futaba challenge the mileage was down but I found the front bearing to be leaking and I didn't find it till I tried tune the engine for 20 minutes. I used to use a GRP .21 Tuned in my truggy and it too would go 11 minute pit stops every....single....time. It was awesome.
So I have no doubts the FMS will go 10 minutes. I just want to verify it. LOL.

Just in case anyone is still interested in my N21R trials and tribulations.
I tried the 9901 + 41030 and 41021 (sorry, won't buy 005 header...) again this weekend, to no avail. The mill simply refuses to rev properly, and is a low-rpm dog, no matter how hard and what I try. When cranking out max HP (ie not much) it will easily temp 270F on my newly received exergen (hurray!) and keep climbing, if I richen it it just sounds wrong and is a turd in the straight. There is no way any different header could add that much low- or hi-rpm HP, so I will simply conclude that 9901+N21R is anything but the hot ticket at least on my mill.
During the same practice session, I also swapped pipes in 3mn back to the "standard" 086HS, using same fuel, same plug, same filter, same weather, same clutch, just swapping exhausts - this is litterally night and day, suddenly the engine lives, is stable, not overheating, not stalling, it's nice nice nice, a real $135 treat
what, again, is stunning me is that my buddy's N21BF is a screamer with 9901+41030 so either NR's QA has some serious slack in their process, or there is more changes from the N21BF to N21R than sees the eye...

I'm done with testing now
Overall I'm happy with the 086HS, so it's now and forever my N21R's official exhaust. Screw runtime, I'd rather have the car drive like it should than -maybe- get 10mn+ refills and not be able to clear the jumps...
N21R + 086HS = Nice little <$200 combo
