Does the Alpha Discovery 5 port have a significant performance advantage over this 3 port engine. You had said that you didnt like the 2066 pipe but what about the 2013 or the 2057, 2058 pipes with this engine. I guess I am wondering if the little extra money for the ABI tuned and the lightened head is worth it, because the Alpha Discovery's are back ordered. Thanks

I am building my NEW MBX6T I attached a couple pics.

nice paint job :nod: these two engines are very close... I think I give the nod to the discovery, just because it's newer technology and has the new carb, but the 3 port is a great engine. One of my favorites of all time. I know I'm not much help, but it's just as hard for me to make up my mind as it is for you :lol: If it was me buying the engine?... I would do the 3 port. I wouldn't run the 2057 either unless we were in Europe, then it might work. 2013 and 2058 are the way to go... for your truggy, use the 2013.

That's a great engine. Idle a few tanks and break it in slowly. After running rich for about 3/4 to a gallon, you can lean it out. 2013 is King. We use 6.5 inserts in most of our engines. Not sure about the OD plug... :confused:

The 2013 will be an awesome pipe for that motor.. I've considered the MTE engine, but I am holding out for either a Tebo Or King Worlds edition combo..

I was thinking about that too. Guess they will be discounted heavily now. I am surprised they put that much effort in having an engine with his name, and not signing him long term.

I would'nt really worry about it, that same motor is already released without his name on it.

I'm really surprised, what a great price! Team Orion really has their price points in order, pretty amazing.

I was in the market for a new motor and couldn't resist the price! My order is in just waiting for the kit to be released.
