Sounds like a Plus 4.

Okay great, thank you very much! As soon as that new 9901 hits the shelves I'll have to give it a try.

Hey Monty

What are your thoughts on hot and humid days as far as changing the carb insert to a larger one to let the engine get more air, or just go to a cooler plug. Seems like there have been alot of flame outs since the high temps and very humid days.

Oh and yes larger carb insert will work up to a point , then you start flooding the engine



Fuel with lower oil content is the biggest performance improver in those situations


And hows the engine running?

Hey monty what would you recomend for Carb inserts on a FMS and a Bonito? The FMS is running a 9901 pipe and the Bonito is running the 2096 pipe.

The Bonito with the 2096 is a very nice combo good power all from the bottom to the top.

Engine from H.E.S. (monty)....i suggest don't second guess going with him....the man is awesome and will give you all the info and hard work to make sure what you get from him is perfect....i purchased products from him and since he lives close he came to the track (without his own cars) and spent the whole day dialing in both my engines till they were to his liking... .he was in my pit area all day not only dialing in the engines but everything about both my rides......the man loves the sport and goes above an beyond to help a fellow racer....i hope this helps for those of you that haven't made the decision to go with H.E.S. for you power needs,
Monty you rock!

7mm is a good balance for most all novarossi engines imo

buggy or truggy?

I am running the Bonito in the Truggy and the FMS in the Buggy. I ran a 7.5 in the Bonito this past weekend at Rev and it ended up just being a fuel hog more than gaining any performance out of it. So I will be going back to the
7MM insert on the bonito.

Default p3xs

Hi houston

I have a P3XS and was just wondering if the 9901 and 41021 pipe/header set-up would be a good choice. I am mainly looking for good runtime (10min+) and a bit more top end without losing bottom end. I was also wondering if i should also change my venturi from the standard 8mm (red) to the 7mm to also improve runtime and top end.

What are your recommendations?

Thanks,
