Got it saturday, but haven't had a chance to drop it in the 7R yet. I see there is an extra "+" on the bag. What did you do?

I have a TOP's ELITE 5, Can I upgrade the 15009"HT". To increase the top end I want to use it for GT racing. Do you also have a motor that would have insane topend and stay at a 5 port?

The X5 Lightning "Full Monty" is a pretty bad ass engine and is probably what your looking for in GT.
Not sure of all the part numbers but I know that a X5 Race "full Monty" with the cranks from a plus 4 Btt has a really strong bottom and top end so much so that I wont put that combo on a track as its to much.

Alright. If this is how you all represent yourselves, then I'll buy an engine elsewhere. Sorry for be unclear on which motor is truggy specific.

I just read your comment wrong. It sounded to me like you were laughing at me for thinking the X7 was a truggy motor. That is all. No harm done!

I just assumed the X7 was a truggy motor since the Mito7 is used in truggy. If not please let me know because I really want a fusion motor for next season.

Sorry for the miscommunication

It's a very powerful motor, and most use them in truggy, I would suggest the 9853 with 021 header ...

Sweet thanks man. I wasn't sure if that pipe would be too much bottom end with that motor, but i'm glad I asked because I was very close to ordering the 9901

9853/021 is a sexy combo. So is 9853/001... screaming top end but I think the 41021 manifold smooths out the low end a little more.

The x7 is a freakin rocket in my truggy. I have 2 k truggys same setup just different engine pipe combos. My wife runs a full ceramic bonitto 9853 021 combo. Same engine I ran to tske 3rd in vietnams truggy championship. I love that engine. I have a x5l that was going in my truggy but opted to try a x7 ceramic with a filled crank. Baddest mofo I ever saw. It looked like a pro street taking on a Yugo from the 80s man. Yes the bonitti has a coupke gallins on it but it runs great no flames and is great..... but it aint no x7. I am sure you will love it..
