How do those two engines compare?

I don't have a Plus 4, but I know that a HES tuned FMS with a 2084SS/41021 combo will put a big A$$ smile on your mug

Huge thanks to Monty for the A+ service! We won't go into details, but lets just say Mr. Houston is an EFFIN genius.

Default Rex p5

Hey Monty, I was just wondering about advancing (raising) the exhaust port on a Nova Rex p5 to gain some top end power. How much would you say is a safe starting amount to raise the port for advancing the flow?
Thanks in advance,
Sean

1mm to start , there are different cases so make sure to check how far down the exhaust port on the sleeve hangs down past the block (sharpie pens are great )

i dont even wanna discuss what the changes are as there are more than likely alot of unknowns inside the engines that i wouldnt know anything about until i get them on the bench


i do know the pricing is ...............................
