Never had engine, but had other stuff e.g. lipo's and never had any customs to pay on any occasion

ordered a GO 0801 pipe set and a gen 5.5 carb from hong kong and the both came within a week and they were dirt cheap. I think they were marked as toy car parts in customs.

exactly what i first read that the toro nero is lower on bottom end until i later found out that apperently the toro with a turbo plug is as good as a +4 if u get the bottom end bang on, apperntly just even a tad to rich on the bottom and its badly affected but if u get this perfect its meant to be easily as good. this is what i read anyway.. with nearly an extra .4 hp its beleiveable i suppose.. i last had a RB WS9 and am finding it hard to go downwards in power so much to a +4 especially as i have a hyper 8.5 which is fairly heavy compared to other cars. really dont know what to do and the main problem is i gotta purchase an engine tonight. What do i do - Toro Nero or +4?? or do i go back to RB?? can get hold of a c6 BB7T with 2045 pipe, with less than a gallon through it. Somebody i know has major back problems so cant race is willing to let me take it for 190, boxed with everything needed to run + more. its a 350quid set
