The Palmaris engine is a real gem.
I had it in my car for one day and she ran great until we made a wrong tuning choice. After Erdward put it back to the original configuration, she was screaming again.
The P12 has a wonderful powerband, real smooth torque, very drivable. Top speed was improved with a simple gearing change
Edward had his hands full and was certainly not expecting to have all his engines in one heat.
Also, the race schedule left us with VERY little track time and when you got on you could only run one tank at a time (no fuel bottles inside the fence). This made it very hard to really work on the engine setup, it was a guessing game.
For that reason, I went to my SX12 with Edward's BRB sleeve set and it was one of the fastest engines out there AND it made 5 minutes.
IMHO, the P12 will be a force to reckon with once Edward gets abit more track time w/o the stress of the Winternats.
Thanks for letting me try it out Edward.
For everybody who has a worn out Nova Rossi based engine, you need to try the BRB or aluminum sleeve, these things are NASTY
