is there a noticable difference between the 5port engine and teh 7 port engine
whats teh advantage in their range of the Modified engine over the standard one. is it just more power.
The 7 port is a very strong motor on those type of tracks when you need constant high rpm from mid to top, and the bottom end power is is on par with the 5 port, if there was a stock engine to rival a v spec, the 5 and 7 are it, the 3 imo still needs work to put that kind of power down, but the other 2 hands down are sick buggy engines. The 5 and 7 run very well with the GO 0801 pipe and we are getting 11 to 12 out of the modded 7 ports right now in a 808, and we run a IDRC 6mm carb insert. Good luck
