I am pulling wheelies on the straight with 7 so maybe it will fly with the nine
I've never had any problems running the Dynamite turbo plugs.
As a matter of fact that's what was in my modded P-9 Picco
engine when I bought it. I run alot of sustained hi-r.p.m's with
this engine and have never had a coil drop on a Dynamite glow plug.
But then again I've never had any problems with the Ofna JL
T-series glowplugs either.
I've never had to over-lean the carb on any Clockworks engine
to get more power out of it. If anything, sometimes I've got to
fatten the needles up a hair to calm the beasts down some.

absolutley! i have looked at the way the plug seats in the head vs werks/orion/o.s. plugs. The dynamite plugs don't go quite as far down as the other plugs and i though that it would hamper the timing. Boy was i wrong! My motor has run it's best with this plug. I literally threw it in thier for the hell of it just to see what would happen. And like you i had to keep richening the motor and would not lose power, so i was really impressed and gave me a huge tuning window.

The JL T series plugs work just fine, they just dont last a damn. Never tried the DYN ones but more power to you if you can get plugs for $3 that work great.

First race with the clocked b5 pro.... Amain win!

Ran pretty strong all day, had a chance to TQ but flamed out. Started fourth in the Amain, crossed the line first, and never looked back. This engine is a real screamer, awesome powerband. Strong throughout the whole range but smooth! Came off after the main at 217, could still be leaned a bit. Engine could outpull most of the motors out there, and at 1/2-3/4 throttle!

M2C variable weight clutch worked excellent as well, running 4 medium shoes with 4 1.0 springs and no weights. Trying TKO special clutch bearings, and so far almost a gallon and still good!


I did run into a problem (sort of):

When I would fire the engine up (from ambient) it would start a little rich, and return to idle well. However, after a few full speed passes, the engine would come in from full throttle with a high idle for a few seconds, and then come down to a normal idle. I tried richening, leaning, but nothing seemed to work. The engine ran fine that way, no problems with bottom end or flameouts, but it seams a little weird. Could it be the idle gap (too big, too large?)
