... well... now that you mention NITROCROSS... yes TEAM ORION ALPHA did kick major butt at the race, sweeping both Invite classes and 3rd and 4th also in the invite buggy class, so yea, you're right that top pros win with TEAM ORION ALPHA engines at the NitroPit

Nyk, it's true for sure that different carbs CAN get better mileage. If you wanted to do it, you could put a .12 carb on an engine and it would run for 15 minutes, but in that case it would probably suffer in the power department. That being said, the MTE engine has a new cast aluminum carb with improved reliability and mileage while still providing good power.
