The Nova Losi engine indeed has input from Team Losi. There are several people including Adam Drake who were involved in the developement of this engine. Nova Rossi's quality is without question and the input of several team members produced a very high quality mill with exceptional power, drivability and mileage. A huge amount of time spent on the dyno and out at the track were critical in achieving this goal. No one told anyone how to make a motor, it was sucessful racers conveying their requirements for a race engine and both parties working toward that same goal.
