I put this engine in a AE truck last summer for a day and didn't think that it
lacked too much power for a truggy, in general, just in a few spots. Then again, I've had super fast and stupid crazy nitro engines before and feel that
it is just not necessary.

If I send it to anybody, it will be Mark at Powerhouse. I have a brand new, spare, piston and sleeve that I am thinking about having him mod. He did
some work for a buddy of mine and godness gracious was that thing fast
when Mark got done with it!
