I'm in the market for a budget oval engine for my late model and it looks like the JL might fit the bill. I love how cheap the rods are for it (I like to stretch rods on the oval
).
Unfortunately i have personally not run one.... my winter season is here and these engines weren't out early enough for me to test them before winter hit me.... I do have a couple modified that will be tested very soon, so I will have feedback then......Judging from the JL's design I am going to say it wont have the bottom end of the Picco, the JL is timed and ported more for midrange and top end...tho i doupt it will lack bottom end, it just wont be as strong as the Picco... But truth be told I have never seen another .21 with bottom end like the Picco anyways...Talking with guys who have run this engine and its RB cousin are saying it has a smooth strong bottom with killer midrange and top end...guys are saying this engine is really really fast....
