I'm set at factory settings and it runs perfect. but I seem to be going threw my tank of nitro 2X faster then before! (maybe I have the slipper to tight?)

Factory settings are usually rich,what are your temps? Have you looked for leaks in the fuel tank/lines?

temps have always been high on my truck, no leaks. runs good, blue smoke. just lately using a lot of fuel fast!

This brings up a good question....what's the actually running time for a tank of fuel? I get about ten to fifteen minutes at half to full throttle. Does this sound normal? Thanx.:\

If the temps are high and it's smokin' good, there is probably a leak. Or the hsn is rich and the lsn is lean. Using too much fuel on the throttle and getting starved when you let off, causing it to heat up. 10-15 minutes sounds pretty normal for going through a tank of gas.
