my old SL3 has such a nice linier power band, that it makes the engine very easy to drive. no sharp peaks in power like other engines i owned, yet it has awesome punch!
I still have the old NS3 in hand but stop runing for quite sometimes. When I try to make comparison between these two engine other then the XL3 is a ported version by max I can't find any thing else different. So that mean the crankshaft would be most slightly the same that they were using on the Max S5. So I can't tell which part of the engine does making it a torgue engine.
Or maybe MAX doesn't sign a new contract with nova for producing the plus 123 MAX version yet.
But one thing for sure is Nova is going to long stroke engine, more torque.
