I think Jeff from XXXMAIN ran his C6 last year with a JP3 pipe and loved it, he said he could get 10min+ if he tuned in right.

I'm running my Shark 10 with the RB 2045 and 198 header (it came with them.)

How did you like the shark10 or haven,t you run it yet? I think I will order the buggy 11 tomorrow with the 2045 pipe. Some times when posting things you get some bad feedback and I haven't received any for RB engines. I think that all the engines are pretty close, but I am looking for an engine that every one that owned one wasn't disappointed in. Thanks everyone for there input.

No i haven't run it yet. I just wish the next 10 weeks () goes by very fast so i can start it up at hardcore for the first time , so looking forward to this season!

Thats one reason i went with the RB, i have never heard anything bad about their engines, nor have i ever seen an RB motor be the cause of someone loosing a race or causing them to DNF (Savoya at the worlds doesn't count.)

RB are really good engines, from the cross 11 (similar to the shark) to the B11 ... It's the reason why RB engines are my choice for 2011.

I ran b11 at CRCRC and the engine was amazing with a lot of power coming really smoothly !!

Moreover there is a new RB USA staff for the aftermarket (in canada too), with savoya.

If you have any questions, let me know

RB's are great engines...however they are no better then the user tuning them...they will flame out and act up just like any other engine out there if they are not setup correctly....As a rule RB's can be very particular to tune/setup, so just because its labeled RB does not ensure you trouble free operation......But if your a skilled tuner they can be fantastic engines.....I have quite a few mod RB C6 engines running around, and they are quite excellent very good runtime and almost as fast as my modified Werk's....my favorite version being the limited run RB C6 USA.......,

Thanks for the input. When I was running nitro a couple years back my last two engines were the Rb C5 and a Ws7 CEO Mod engines and I acually found them quite easy to tune and never flamed out. That is one of the main resons I went again with RB. I had plenty of different brand engines and rb just gave me the most trouble free operation. I am sure all the engines now are probably excellent engines.
