That said, so far I love my RB engine experience but also am looking to try other things (maybe save a buck or two) that maybe I will be just as happy with. This leads me to checking into the Novarossi line. From what I hear, very comparable to the RB concepts. My question: can someone recommend an engine for my xray 808 that you think I would be happy with, but maybe something a little different from what I have. I am looking for something that will hold a tune like a vise (like the c6 has) that has good low end power without sacrificing too much top end, and that has decent fuel efficiency. I must say that I drive best when those things are wrapped out and over heating. I like it snappy. I have much better throttle control on the bottom end then steering control on the top. It is easier for me to keep from spinning out off the line but harder for me to keep my speed/power up around the corners.
there is no "magic" engine but the plus4 has been proving to be a very good engine lately . the 7 ports 21-7fms and toro nero are badass engines if thats what you are looking for
