But its really impressive in the low to midrange area. I would also like to put in a good word for pnp hobbies. They just opened but they've got the right formula Good parts, good people, and good prices. They carry plenty of replacement and aftermarket parts and new stuff seems to show up every day. anybody in the palm bay area needs to check 'em out.im currently running both pipes and sell both
cvec and rd logics pound 4 pound they are
very close in quility n performance
but i have not lost a cvec stinger yet

I didn't think I did any bashing at all just made a comment to harry. I believe I wished you all the best and still do
Peace bro. Like Pon Paris said room for everybody.
Ps seems all of us that dabble in high perf parts have been involved in real high level 1:1 stuff.
My most recent was Saturn of San Diegos Saturn Ion Pro Fwd Car. I consulted the powertrain chassis layout on that car heavily in the very very beginning. It promptly layed down a new national MPH/ET record with Lisa Kubo behind the wheel to the suprise of the factory Pontiac/Chevy team at work.
Once again all the best.

Maybe I just miss intrepid you Motorman. Anyway, it is funny how allot of us have been in the 1:1 high performance cars...
Well, I just got the Spektrum from my new M11 today, thanks to PNP Hobbies... Getting ready for my first real ROAR event. Going to test our new power pipe at Stricklands RC Park next weekend, then at Superior Hobbies the following weekend. So far, it is outstanding.
The big race at Full Throttle in the fall is an outlaw class race. What is a good .12 outlaw engine to get these days?

nah....trust me,I don't have great knowledge...my forte has always been common sense,the ability to build things really sweet(you should have seen my V-8 vega kammback wagon).....and really decent hand eye coordination(at least when I was younger)......but I'll tell you what,for a guy 51 years old,I can still smoke guys half my age racing RC cars.......I've finally figured out that consistency wins the ball game every time...

Well, this new Power pipe brings the power on too quick to test on the Jato. It just smokes the tires off it, off the line, through-out the mid-range. We are now making a prototype to run on the touring car. Hope to test this out before the race at Superior race, in two weeks...
