for those who asked about the bearing issue I was having and the noise in the novak ballistic I got in, after using that press fit loctite compound the noise got much better and the motor ran fine all yesterday in my daughters vehicle. Heck was suprised how well it worked had a good amount of pop.
You can definitely tell though when someone elses ballistic is a step above others. Wasn't outlandish but curious in general what do people use to check a motor for performance? coming from mod I would just drop in a faster motor if needed, but running spec and all not sure what are common practices to see if the motor is good, bad etc.
Vehicles themselves worked well, took a beating but kept coming back for more. need to get a hair more rotation out of the vehicle but probably will drop the toe slightly and I think that should do it.
