I never found the stock XZ to have that great of a top end either...not a slouch by any means, just doesn't have the scream most of my other engines do....

in most cases you will never hear the xz scream. It has too much bottom end. If you do hear it scream in you revo. just watch and you'll see your truck come apart just before your eyes. lol
keep the vids coming I love em.

this will be a PIC and VIDEO comparison of the two....they will both run the same gearing, fuel and pipe (18-36...o'donnel 20%...086) and will be ran in a REVO. i will get the top speed of both using a radar gun and the tourqe will be rated by you guys buy watching the videos.

first come the pics....the NINJA is on the left of every pic, while the 28xz is on the right....you can see how much lighter weight they made the ninja, and how much smaller the sleeve looks.(the porting on the ninja sleeve was done by me)
Great work man!

The truck looks nice and definately has some power. We will be waiting out the rain delay for the next phase.
