Dont know what section I need to be in but where can I find M5 around Soutwhest Missouri? Need by July 8
I will think about it. You have a PM from me aswell.Just run some M1. took hot and the track isn't good enough to put power down. Not worth the cost vs gains.
Alot of difference between M1 and M5Just run some M1. took hot and the track isn't good enough to put power down. Not worth the cost vs gains.
In cost yes. 10% gain. So you make 20hp that’s 2 gain at best. I have tested both on the dyno back to back. Not worth it IMO. Spend the money on tires and prep.. will gain more.Alot of difference between M1 and M5
That’s best case. Did you rejet the carb? Did you change timing? Did you bring a weather station to the track to test humidity? Sure it all adds up. But we run on low bite, dusty short tracks. Where having the most power doesn’t mean your fast. I can blow the tires off at any given time as it is.. having 2 more hp isn’t gonna help. If we ran something with traction that would be different. I spend my time and money on the kart. I’ll build myself more power as needed. Add wear and tear and crazy CHTs and there’s a lot of blown head gaskets. Have to finish to win. Just my opinion.10% gain with just fuel choice is huge . I would gladly pay 50 dollars for 2 hp.

If I have an engine built to make 20hp that's what I built it for on purpose. If I want more power I will just run another engine that makes more power to start with. Over build and not run them on the edge every night.If you have an engine built to 20hp what other mod can you do for $50 that will net you 2hp? I doubt any.
And that's your opinion. I buy M1 in a drum. I know I have it, and my engines are tuned to run the same fuel I have. Consistency and eliminating variables is something I focus on.Like you said,,,, it's your opinion
