The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

Thanks. Not sure if the jtech Pitts muffler makes any more power over the stock on or not. I know my Carden cap is right at 18 lbs and it had decent pull. I know I won't get the power I get from my nitro planes but that's because my slabs are built ultra light.

I ran a pitts (Slimline) for a bit and made no more power than the stock muff. The cost of a pro flow is high but you can get a nice China can for half the cost and it does the same thing. Really helps smooth the air flow through the engine and cleans up a muddy midrange so you can get a really nice tune on it. Pitts was a bit more quiet than stock muffler and power and midrange good but holding a precise tune is a bit hard to achieve.

Gotcha thanks. I may look into a can setup at some point. You got any links to the cheaper setup. Might be a cheeseburger in it for you.

My smoke is in the can tunnel. So not an option for mine. I got a jtec Pitts muffler

Yup...got one of those headers just doin' absolutely nothin'. I bet if someone sent me a 15 dollar bill, I would send it to them. Just to get it out of my box of unused.....small plane stuff.

How about PM'ing me your address then stang flyer and 15 smackers might just header your way.

Cut a hole for the ZDZ carb in the 45% tonight. Engine bolted right in after that.

Discovered quickly that I will need to get longer bolts because I need to space the engine out 1 more RCH to clear the cowl comfortably, plus I will need to fit some washers behind the firewall.

Thinking I need to brace the old muffler cutout in the firewall too. This thing is gonna have a lot of power...
