Which outside temp was it when you race it ?

A other point which will be interesting is if there is a other car handling cause the cooling heat is lower than other ones and during las vegas it was written that there should be a other behavior of the car. Is this true ?

Sorry, I am trying to decipher what you are asking here?

Are you talking about the lower CG Head affecting handling of the chassis?

If so, I am sure it will, but I am also sure, that to the average racer its not as noticiable as say to Darren Bloomfield, or Hara, or Drake etc.

- Noting that some of us run additional weight in our cars, of course we can tell that, as that weight is added and removed from different areas, but given that the motor is always in one spot on the chassis, the little change in CG, will probably present itself to the average racer as a placebo effect.

Yes you are right ! I mean this.

I only read it during WM in Las Vegas.
Would be nice to get info about it from someone who is running the engine.

I can't tell a difference in the handeling from the spec III to the 2102.
2102 is a little up on mileage tho.

In my area the Nitro cars are getting built up for the season , if they don't bring that thing to market soon , it wont be an option for a bunch of people. At least drop the specs and price so people could decide .

All the drivers that are running the new motor, and others based on it (Bullitt) are all still running the LCG head. So perhaps there was an issue at Vegas, yet now the B2102 is available for the public, with the LCG head. So I am sure they ironed out the issues.
Adam Drake is actually running the spec 2 in truggy, more powerful than the spec 3

I have both engines. Spec 3 on truggy and b2102 on buggy and i must say they're awesome. Changed the cooling head on 2102 becuse its pretty hot where i live just to play it safe and never any issues. Handling all over the power band is excellent on both engines. I suggest you run them with the recommended pipe combo to maximize the output for each application

No all three of those have different stroke lengths and since the crank determines stroke length none of them are interchangeable with each other
