I wouldn't mess with the STS motors. Something with the way they do the Piston and sleeves is different and they seem to lose life pretty quick. I had one a while back and got less than a gallon through it before performance went south. It wasn't really that fast either. The TZ is the way to go for cheap performance.

What about the TZ 5port? Is that ROAR legal and is that overdoing it? cause iam seeing the prices pretty much the same for both and the 5-port seems to be more powerfull. Oh then do the engines come with a pipe or do i need to get another pipe?
