I just wanted to post how my R-spec ran, It is modified to the 2005 specs by TQ Motors. It has work done to the crank, and sleeve, the exhaust port timing was changed and the intake ports improved.

I ran it at the last series race for the Southwest series here in Texas over the weekend.

It had as much if not more power than all of the other motors in the A-main. I was getting over 7 1/2 minutes of run time on the track and it was temping in the 210-215 range. The idle was rock solid and it started easily every time.

I never got a chance to run the tank all the way dry on a run and have a hard time believing how good the fuel economy was. I showed the tank to one of the Palmaris drivers after a 5 minute qualifier and it was still 1/2 full!! The track was large and my chassis was not working really well but the car was good enough to make the A-mian against some very fast drivers.

All I can say is that I am very happy with the motor and the work that TQ did on it. I can't wait to see how it compares to Ron Atomics motors, I know of one driver in the A that was running an X12 and I backed off many times on the straight to avoid running him down. I have no idea what condition his motor was in but he was also pretty fast.


I could not be happier with my choice.

Good luck
Cody
