i agree w/ that. If you already know how to tune it and how it likes to run, why change that?

chris the os carb is the best, easy to tune ,holds a tune,motors are priced right. if you plan on racing in the future a 21 is as big as you can go with the buggy,a 28 in truggy. but if your just having fun os just came out with a new 28 that i hear is a beast. the italian motors are harder to tune,narrower window,take longer to break in,parts are more,

With a vspec you shouldn't have a need for more top end...what pipe are you running? what gas, 20 or 30%? glow plug model number?

i have had one of my vspec's for a while this vspec has zero pinch i must honestly have about 10 or more gallons through it and it still holds a perfect idle and runs just as fast as it did when it was new and holds temp at about 220 i will rebuild it soon but not yet no until i have too

the new v specs have a better rear bearing, and beefed up case. great motor but if it runs on the lean side the bushing on the rod/crank will wear fast. seen some cases split due to the rod slapping. the new motors will last longer. i have 2 jp mod v specs that i've ran for two seasons. i will be running stock v specs next year.
