Are you saying your TZ drove past 2 Rodys? Were they in pit lane?

OK guys let me fill you in, the reason why the .12TZ's performance is the 1:1 bore and stroke, most engines are timed for Max RPM but OS has blanced the power in this long stroke engine, you can gear for max power on large tracks and also max low end on small tracks. Blance is the key to this engine and that's what most engines don't have. The whole engine has been redesigned from the ground up and alot of thought was put into top performance without the customer having to spend a extra 100 buck to mod his engine.
when you spend 300 dollars on a mod engine
and you have problems with tuning whitch I see all the time or your still not as fast as the team drivers OS has just leveled the playing field in race engines. At the RD Logics Race Ron Atomic TQed with this box stock TZ and he
was competeing aginst JP Mod, Mega, Siro and all the others. OS engines in back into the race scene with a vengence.

As gijoe has pointed out, the OS TQ'd the RD Logics race with Barry Baker second. Now, Baker uses the Murnan Modified motors so we know they are in the top 3% of fast motors.
I am as surprised as anyone out there that this box stock motor is producing the goods for a very cheap price. To see a sleeve that is made of 2 different metals (one for the ports section and one for the very top of the sleve) is something I haven't seen on a box motor before. I know the Palmaris guys were testing with this recently as well.
When Ron Atomic posted that his motor was out of the box, I was sceptical, but after reading a review of the 18TZ I was curious about how the .12 would perform and it turned many heads at it's debut here in Western Australia(including mine!). The motor has also been performing well in Europe recently, especially in France and the UK where lower Nitro content is normal, so I thought what the heck.
Like I said before though, it's early days and there is much to be learnt yet, including the reliability factor.
All I can suggest is to get one for yourself and try it (no I'm not associated with OS in any way), and tell everyone what you think from personal experience. A lot of people just don't see OS as a performance engine manufacturer. I was also one of the "it's either Italian or it's an also ran" brigade. I can tell you now, they are out to change that image.
Cheers,
Mike.
. If you win, I'll be tempted to buy the OS .12TZ. Otherwise I'm very happy with my Rody engine the way it is. Super reliable, idles all day, and very easy to tune.

As you guys know...OS pipe is probably one of the most expensive pipe in the market, even cost more then Nova Rossi or Nova MAX 1 piece pipe, but they claimed using the OS pipe will get the maximum performance out of thier engine....who doesn't.

I have a fully modified 18TZ, and I did see the stock performance of the same 18TZ against JP15, MAX 15 (yes, 15, not 12..)....the stock 18TZ are PAR with those mod engine....and my MOD 18TZ, unfortunitely, is hard to tell the performance because my NTC3 are just too narrow, too small and too hard to take the abuse from the mod 18TZ.............
According from the guy that mod my 18TZ......he said the material that OS used on the TZ series, are even HARDER and BETTER then the Nova Rossi, JP, Max...etc engines that he had ever modded....he said he usually can modded 3 engines without changing his tool, but this time modding my 18TZ, he has to use 1 full set of tool (blade set) for this single engine......the material are OUTSTANDING.
About the 12 TZ and 5 port TZ.....from my friend over in HK that already tested thru race and drag...........it is PAR with those stock Nova Rossi or Max or JP EXCEPT the high end speed......again, these TZ are not designed for 43,000 rpm like Nova, if your track are hugh and long enough like Hamilton, I think OS might not be able to compare with those big boys...however, in realiality, most of the track are smaller then Hamilton, then OS is in a fair ground with all the big boys, and with the OS easy to tune performance come in standard.........I think OS will have the edge on the 12 engine competition....mainly, the PRICE.
I would not go to the whos faster then who.........OS is cheap, affordable and good performance.....MAX JP are garantee good performance and realiable........they are just 2 different type of engine for ppl to choose from.
