if i were in the market for motors i wud definately pick up a Alpha motor. They are startin to get pretty popular here in SoCal. I test drove one and it was very smooth through the whole power band with a ton of top end, they are gettn in the 10 minute range and goin for just over $200, i want to say $225 but dont quote me. Check the Aplha thread for the reviews and see what people are saying. Also Jimmy (racecrafter) and Chris (Tech5) from Trackstar carry the motors, they have a thread: Trackstart racing, great peeps!

By increasing the diameter of the crank, it allowed the ability to advance the crank intake timing without sacraficing the stength of the shaft. The new 14mm crank with the same factory depth cut gave the crank a 10 degree advancement in induction timing as well so the engine does run better with the new crank. My race ported version runs side by side with my race ported P5 and Plus21-4 and I have those available for $175 for a limited time offer. I also still have the stock ones available for $135.
I keep telling my friends because it's too good of a deal to pass up on.

Mark at powerhousercperfoemance.com is an excellent engine modder. He did 3 engines this year for me and every one was perfect. His work is top notch and his engines run strong. Right now I am inning os speed engines and they are perfect in the truggy but a handfull in the buggy I have been considering the nova 21 limited that mark has. I have a hard time controlling my trigger finger and the buggy gets away from me sometimes. The speed engine will produce 9.5-10 mins consistently though. They are good engines just very fast.
