tigershark/ thundercat 1000 motor build

its for a tigershark but its similar the the thundercat motor I built a jet boat with a 1000 tripple motor, long story short that motor is toast and my new one comes with v force reeds cant find any info on if i need to run it richer for the reed setup , dont wanna have to rebuild the second motor or burn it down.

So are you trying to run a Tigershark motor in a Thundercat? Or vice-versa? The TC motor has a balancer shaft, TS motor does not, sled will vibrate pretty bad without it.

Vforce reeds move more air, need more fuel. Jet it fatter.

Has anyone ever run the v force reeds and actually noticed any difference? Ive read their claims but any review i've read was pretty unsubstantial

When used with a heavily modded motor, the gains are noticeable.
Mostly you will notice crisper throttle response and sharper low end power.
