Novak 5.5R in a B44 - Too Much?

[nutey]

Just picked up a Novak 5.5R cheap and was wondering whether it'll be too much in a B44 with a Sphere TC and Trakpower 4800s? I was originally looking for a nice sensible 7.5 but this seemed too good a bargain to pass up

I've not raced for about 15 years - back when 1700 Nicads were cutting edge so am I asking for trouble with this much horsepower?

Or can I tame it (partially) by turning the EPA down and using the EXP on the throttle?

If not - Anyone need a Novak 5.5R?
