Who won the Amain giveaway? I can't find where they announced the winner.

What does the Clockworks MOD provide that a regular OS speed doesnt have? Power, smoothness,great idle,reliability and ease of tuning. Run time is the only thing I think can be slightly improved. I am not trying to start a MOD/Stock war. But I have run OS for a long time and they have been pretty legit if I may say so. Just looking to find out what the extra for a Mod provides on an already top of the line engine.

Keep in mind we are talking about the Samurai which is 95% Vspec speed. The xzb is a different architecture and sucks at run time. My Samurai is great on fuel but no where near as potent as an xzb in the power dept.

VZB was never a slouch power wise to me, it was a lot smoother. I was just curious as to what the mod provided on what should theoretically already be a badass engine. Thanks blaze.

+1 on the vzb speed engines the WC II Speed is still my favorite engine to date.

Sounds like a big huge placebo-project which costs money.
Usually what modding means is taking some engine, increasing the timings. This would obviously work best on an engine which has low timings from before. Something which only has like 200 degrees, would obviously benefit.
Honestly though I was massively disappointed with a modified Alpha engine that I bought (which I won't name the modder), there wasn't that big a difference from the regular one. Also, when compared to my non-modded XZ-B Speed, even the modded Alpha seems like a slouch.
I just don't think these modded engines are worthwhile. OS SPeed is the ticket for me at least, others might prefer other things.

honestly the timing on this thing is already up at 220+ degrees or near it, there's no way you can really increase that, so I don't see how it has any purpouse having this thing modded at all, other than wasting money.

So go ahead then Mr. Mehren, why don't you educate us all, there's 219 degrees of timing, the crank is already slugged w/silicone, where are you going to get all this magic performance from?
Sounds like a steaming pile of BS from AM as usual.
