Also, how do the pipes differ? Thanks.
ps Just browsed some more German online shops. Practically ALL of them are selling the F11 for huge deals. Starting to make me wonder why...
The Cross11 is a 3 port engine the F11 is a 7 port engine. The F11 will make a lot more power. They do some with the L2G head but recently people have been getting the F11 that has the same head as a B11 so maybe the older stock small heads are on clearance. The smaller heads do run hotter in my experience. I prefer the newer taller heads myself.
As Far as which Nova the F11 is close to? I am not for sure. I have heard some say it's similar to the FMS. It's really a lot like an onroad engine. Locally I race with a guy running one in truggy and his is FAST!!!!!
The pipes are similar but I feel the 2087 makes more torque and a little more overall power.
