I have a 35PLUS 21

They have been milking us long enough

They hang on with actual JP's in 'non-stock' condition. The only ones who escape me are the Sirios Evo3 (they whine a lot and the NSR's cannot keep their pace at insane 'Sirio RPM's'). Sirio pipe is really good for NSR's, just check it.
Actually got a N12LS3 (they handed me very cheap), need to dismantle and put an eye and some hands over it to see how much can give it.

as much fast as the other engines (sirio, picco, etc...)
very good mileage.........much bottom end and a little less RPM........I've been told that raising the sleeve by putting one 0.10mm shim under the sleeve (don't forget to deduct this shim from the others that go under the combustion chamber.....i.e: if you use 0.30mm shim you have to use 2 shims of 0.10mm thickness considering you have another 0.10mm shim under the liner) makes the engine reach higher rpm.........
just to mention, the REX LR3 (same as LS3) exhaust port height is 4.39mm while the older NS/NSR based engines (including JP, MAX, etc..) are 4.54mm
since it's just changing powerband I prefer taller gear ratio, maybe in a very open track this change will worth the try........
