Cool, I basically am interested in them because the engine head isn't purple, lol. But do they perform as well as the rest?

When do you think you'll be able to get it on a track and see the performance of it? I do like the aluminum carb, had problems with the plastic ones.

Well if you are interested in selling the Rossi, I'd propably be interested. Sounds like you got a bundle of engines. BTW, is it the 3 or 5 port?

Aah, I am lookin for the 5 port, try to get a little more power out of it... One thing I noticed is that they use a standard plug, is the button replaceable so that I could run a turbo plug?
