From what I've read, they both seem to make good power with good torque, but get the 3 port if you want the 10+ minutes of runtime.

I run at Revelation Raceway regularly. Looking for good power, but more importantly, I would like good fuel economy.

Cody runs there regularly, I should go see which motor he is running It seems like the team drivers are winning more big races these days with the 3 port.
3-port for fuel mileage for sure.. The 5-port is no slouch on fuel, as both of mine have seen over 10 minutes on a tank of fuel.. The 3 port just seems to go and go. Tebo pitted at 14 minutes + at the NEO race..
