Derek that Go 5 port will be perfect in a truggy, but most people including myself feel that the Go .25 is just about the best truggy engine ever made. Similar mileage to a .21 and a usable torque curve that is amazing on the track.

Yes retro, that engine looks exactly like a Go 5 port to me, its funny how they put Italian tuned on the head. Its great news that the engines are becoming so popular.

We also have that EBM5 engine coming out soon and that engine will be assembled in the U.S. by Ed bridges. Everyone will also be broken in and dyno tuned as well.

I know I haven't spoken much about these engines yet but they are going to be amazing, A TKO ceramic rear bearing, not some no name ceramic bearing. They will be black heads with black cases for nice styling, and they will also include a industry first, which will be a ti nitride coated throttle slide for the smoothest throttle pull you can imagine. I know Ed has been getting the engines to spin an extra 5k to 6k rpm without any issues. He also told me that every mod he has done has not done anything to effect fuel mileage so people getting 10 min. pit stops will not be impossible.
