That track is always wheel spin city.

I just wanted to point out the temp peolpe can expect from this motor. My Ninja temps at 220* and it's nutty.
I'll be purchasing the Alpha 3 port standard version to see what Orion has in a cheap way. If that made any sense.

I would like to try the ABI Aplah, but I don't want to spend the $300 on an experiment.

This new motor does look and sound awesome.

Sweet, not much more expensive than the .21 ABI. I love that engine so much, my nova is now sitting in its box.

I know what my next engine is.

Will it be $10 better than the Ninja JX.21.

Seriously though, when people start running these I would like to hear how the power is compared to the Ninja. I love my little ninja.

NINJA is my choice i have ran them all.. im like a test rat . i have a REEDY in my 2.0 now w/ 2 gal. Its ok, The NINJA imo is the best all around mill out there. We had some speed cranks laying around put one in the ninja and its like a speed mill on crack......they need to make a ninja w/ a wighted crank for 375.00 and sell them all day long ...call it a ninja 2.0....

Hopefully this motor is still in 'development' stages. It's far behind the performance & mileage of the normal red head Orion motors which aren't that great to begin with.

Watching the new orion stuff at the track and talking to Mike Truhe these engines arent the fastest on the block or the most powerful. Hopefully they will be reliable, consistent and easy to tune. Then at least they will have some good attributes.
