Mine had 2 gallon on it when i loaned it out and it had pinch... When i sold it with like 4 it was still tight....

What fuel you run... I found it didnt like 20% hpi fuel. When i switched to 30% O'donell tunning was way easier and temps dropped

more power and better throttle response, as well as cooler temps with 30%.

I personally didn't like Trinity 30% Platinum. I would try Byrons, best fuel I have run so far.
