Proper pipe will make/break an engines performance.

I personally would not bother with a turbo head.. I've had a bunch of SH-based engines - LRP Spec 3, Losi 454 (those two are identical fyi..), Dynamite Big Red, Mach 427's and Sportwerks .26's, and a Nosram RS.30RR.. All were very good as is.

For the most power I had a JP-2 on my LRP Spec 3. It was silly powerful - but also silly thirsty.. Whatever the case, I don't think a turbo head is going to make any meaningful difference.. Could be wrong though - haven't tried it.. But I can't imagine why it would.. That RE11 is meant to be good on lots of engines afaik.. But seriously, I'd just save up and get an Argus .23 with pipe combo..

i put the turbo head on my 350. its noticeable but nothing to get excited about. but I only have a stock eight pipe. and keep in mind you need to use 25 or 30% nitro fuel with it and it gets more tricky to tune

Ok so I got to install a re11 this weekend. Car broke early so I only got to run 3/4 of a tank but I could tell the difference right away over the stock 8ight pipe.

Default Fast Truggy

The Novarossi Roma is by far my favorite truggy engine. Torque out the ass and rpm too. It has the same stroke as the Bonito and close to the same crank timing.
