Its really good.the car rotates so well,I was shocked.The car turned in well but not too hard.Rear was not over-planted but just enough.I have to admit,I know nothing about 540 motors,but I will tell you that my new johnson motor that came with the Kit,{M03}was a dog before I dipped it.After,it was fast.Alot of the guys that I ran against that had there stuff together for awhile now were wondering if I was cheating.Or at least wondering what I did to the motor.I would get on the straight away and go right by everyone like they were standing still.Is this basically the luck of the draw with these motors?I dipped my for about 2.5 hours off and on and after oiled the bushings and put prolong on the brushes.Is there other rituals to squeeze out more power?Also where are people getting the old johnson 540's from?

thanks!
