Rainer,
A correctly tuned STI can be as fast if not faster than all the motors you listed..remember head clearance, correct plug and nitro content all have a pivotal roll to getting the correct performance. Try the STI i have a feeling youll love it..... Robert Maestrey Hey Rainer our season starts this weekend so ill give you a little run down of how the motor did....check out these shells |

Well locally here in Ft.Lauderdale we have a small track 130' x 70' and the StI scream around this track nothing done to them completely stock...in the state series tracks are much bigger and the motor then can really open up.... |
You guys have seen the videos, so you know what type of track I run on. That's why the bottom end to mid-range is so important. The CRF and TZ can pretty much keep up with anything on the straight - even with the JPs. It's the infield performance that seperates the tortoises from the hares. :D
The last thing I want to do, is blow extra money on an engine that can go 65+ MPH, when all I really need is a screamer from 0-30 MPH. |

Hmmm... My choices are quickly narrowing down to 3 specific engines. I just need to decide which one to get - and find someone that has it in stock that I can buy it from - for a reasonable price. :lol: |
