I have the timings of a Gen 5.5 7 port..... in fact that is the last Go I was playing with and shooting video of.....The 5.5 7 port had plenty of room for my style of modifications in the base timing....I am very excited to test the 7 port before and after mods thats for sure....And I am very happy with the final modded 7 port i did, in fact it is one of my favorite engines so far, it has tons of power on tap, but never feels peaky or jumpy at all.......If you want to drive slow it will drive slow, and if you want to rip it up it shreds with the best of them...the modulation and tractability are phenomenal, especially when considering the amount of power it is capable of producing...The modded 7 port took down a 5S 2200 KV BL in the same chassis, and went toe to toe in a drag with one of my modified picco's, so its got some serious bang..But yet on the track it only gives you what you ask for, so its very nice to drive..... The mileage appears to be really good as well.....

All my GO engines are modded. If you want to see
your run times increase, all you need is a standard
race mod and shim the head button properly. Also,
I have been running an insanely modded Clockworks
GO 7port for way over a year now and I'm so used
to running it, I guess I'm spoiled now. I have put this
engine thruogh hell. It has burned many gallons of nitro
on my truggys, It has seen tank after tank of wide open
running around the big dirt oval and has even seen time
on my on-road DM-1 Pro. This engine used to be a hand
full to maintain control on the truggy, but now I'm so used
to driving it, any other engine has to be really bad assed
to impress me. Hell, even when I get a MG-66, I will run it
a few times, then send it off to Maximo, for a little tweeking.
I'm just glad I'll have the parts to replace the rod in the 7port
soon. I'll run it two more gallons, then send the sleeve off for
a pinch before I start on gallon number nine.
