engine choice for 25% YAK

I'm running a Saito 180 in a GP Yak 54 25% and would like more power for 3D. What would you recommend? Thinking about a gasser as its costing a small fortune to keep fuel in the Saito.

I would have run a DA 50 or Evolution 45.

If money were not an issue I would say YS 170DZ. However buying and feeding that engine will cost you what a 100cc engine costs. Take a look at the Brillelli 46cc
