I know of a pro that chooses to run these dyn engines, I have pitted for him serveral times and NEVER have I seen him get over 7:30 with the .21 and he pits at like 6 - 6:30 with the .24 or .28......It does run pretty well.

They are not junk. I know a driver that ran this engine at worlds 08.

DYNAMITE PLATINUM .21XP VP
RPM 3,000 38,000
HP: 2.8

PLATINUM .21XPE
RPM 3,000 - 40,000

And I disagree with the straight away. I have never seen anyone just pass him on any part of the track, nor have I seen him underpower on any part of anyone of our 5 tracks.
Are they the best no, but for the price of the engine. They are not bad engines at all.
