As my knowledge grows, I have a tendency of changing my mind about what I want to get. I guess it's all part of the discovery and learning process.

I made one bad engine choice this year (nothing having to do with competing against the JPs BTW) and I don't want to make another.

Now that my TZ issues have been worked out, I'm pretty happy with it. I really like the low-to-mid range powerband. It makes it easy to drive fast on our track.

Just FYI Edward, this is the track I race on:

- Picture - It's not L shaped BTW

- Video - Both leaders are running MTX-4s w/JPs.
Well, a guy at my track has a JP, and on the straight I edge him slightly. But absolutely no engine I run against can pull me on the straight. It just doesn't scream like the other engines, but it has a smooth acceleration. So, if you are trying to compete with JP's, Sirio is the way to go. My track is small and technical like yours.
