Depends on what you want out of your engine. What size track do you run? Usually the larger the track the bigger the manifold, I am told

What are the advantages of the flat front upper arms on the MRX4R? I have a heap of the old arms from my MRX4 that i want to use but im not sure what the negatives will be.

Also anyone have any tips for getting maximum braking capability with the MRX4R? I have th option pads on the standard disc but they seem to lose braking after a few laps of my local track.

Thanks

Steer clear of the C6. Your $400 would be better spent on gumballs.

Is the motor that bad? How about the Xenon .21s? I figured I'd be better off with a new Piston/sleeve/conrod set for under $200 that will fit my Nova TOP and make the motor overall faster than the previous setup.

I may also pickup a Carlsen Mod ZX21 from a friend for cheap...barely used. The plan is to run both touring and 8th this year, but mainly work on Sedan.
