It's a shame really because the motor is decent. I'd equate it to a MT-12 but more bottom end! So long as I run the motor above 240deg. it has good power. I ran it a whole day at 250 deg. 80 minutes of racing. C, B and A main. The temp was consistent and no sign of detonation. It isn't quite a Novarossi killer on those bigger tracks, but it sure is an awesome small track motor. Granted my motor has been worked on, I wouldn't hesitate to run it stock so long as the track isn't too big. I lost some gas milage with the modification but it's still awesome compared to the Novarossis. I got 7minutes with it stock and now I get 5:50 with the mods.

I also noticed something very weird. The compression got better after 2 gallons. I've never had this happen to me before. I am absolutely sure the compression increased since the last time I ran it. I'm not exactly sure why but it's very interesting. Anyone have insight as to why?

I also reccomend the new VR 12 pipe from Skyline Racing. I just got the pipe and it really exploits all the power from this motor. I was running a RD pipe, a Yokomo pipe and a Rex pipe on this motor and so far the Skyline pipe has been the best.
Hi may i ask what mods did you get done to your motor? just wondering if i should get both my crank and sleeve modded or just the sleeve.
