I'v had about 10 tanks through my .46 and it doesn't do wheelies yet.
With this engine is it a sudden power gain or does it gradually build up after break'in :radio:

well I know the Savage is just a few pounds lighter...than the Genesis and I watched some vids on the genesis and it is popping up just about everytime they hit the gas...so yeah it should be popping up a good bit..but from the genesis to yours..it could be in the gearing...
 
its the stock 17T truckzilla clutch with 49T spur. also when people say your engine is to hot and you can't hold on to the head for a few seconds do they mean the top of the head or the bottom :thumbup:
 
they mean can you hold ur hand on top of the head for a few seconds or just take the palm of ur hand and see it you can hold it there for like 3 to 4 seconds..if not to hot..will need richening up a tad...

Man you are so wrong if you can hold your hand on the heat sink for that long your running to rich and need to lean it out!

Chevy_87 you need to quit giving members bad INFO
 
Whoa Z-Dog! I think Littlehomedick has gotten you a riled up. maybe he just made a mistake, I made the exact same mistake in another thread yesterday. But I caught it and changed it.

supercharged- Zandor is correct. You've been given backwards info.
 
I dont know. Some people may have no nerves in their hands and can with stand heat up 280. But not likely. Get a temp gun. I also read heli fuel helps alot.
 
leaned it some more and had it powersliding on wet grass with the front popping up a bit but not much :cheers:
 
forgot to mention i am running with a supercharger it does increase power :jet: took it off for tank 12 retuned and found i couldn't powerslide or get the fromt to lift :hammer:
 
So that supercharger works? How do you know if you are still breaking it in?
 
so far this is what i have found at the moment it may not be the case once my .46 is fully broken in and tuned :shrug:
 
will changing the GP to an OS A5 do alot for performance :shrug: I have some friends with stadium truck who need there buts kicked asap :boxing:
 
put stock pipe back on found it had more low end power
had it doing better powerslides more than yesterday :radio: :redbuggy:
 
Put an OS A5 plug in and found it has more power (I think its a colder plug or something) also on my tsais pro pipe i ground some grooves on the inside of the exit and found that you it is easier to listen to the engine (e.g. if its about to stall) :tank:
