| 40 | Comments | This was my first performance engine. It wasn't fast enough for me at all. Bottom end felt soggy, but I expected that a little w/ the large 36mm vents and 1 5/8" exhaust. Didn't really pull hard until 3,500-4,00rpm. It ran very well for what it was, but this year I'm going 1914cc with a close ratio box. Feel free to email me with any questions.
