As far as im seeing on the STS, you sent me the engine pretty broken inn and prepared for 16% nitro ... i really dont know about your "touch" cause i dont have comparisson vs a stock STS D3R engine ... but with the little use i did on the engine it shows a lot of power (specially torque) ... a friend who went to USA bought me 2 pinnions (the biggests) and 2 spurs (the smallest) so i have material to test on the track ...

Now, this new "IFMAR" version wich differences presents over the one i bought from you ? ...
Pato

Main difference is in the crankshaft. IFMAR has 7.5mm internal passage vs.EFRA's 7.00mm, plus it has a more agressive turbo scoop.
Now, if you can get me the size of the track in Rosario, specially main straight lenght, we'll do the special work to give the engine a plus in high end power.

Call me to talk it over.
