There's always the throttle EPA though if the 5 port turned out to be too much, LOL!
Is the EB mod version a turn key solution? As in no break-in, just bolt in and go?

I will tell you that the 3-port sport does rip in a buggy on a short track. I race my Truggy with one, I'll upgrade my engine once it because the limiting factor in my lap times. Driving with a slightly underpowered engine will teach you a lot about being a smooth driver with better late braking techniques. Just a thought, plus the 3-port sport engines are hella cheap and easy to tune. Might as well learn on a cheap engine. Plus why pay heaps for an engine if you can't use 100% of its potential?
