Default Does anybody know what this engine is?

I just got a used Sparrowhawk from a hobby store. By the looks of the plane, it seems like it is built to go fast. It has heavy duty hinges, high torque servos, and the two halfs of the wing are fiberglassed together.

But, I don't know what the engine is. The prop that came on it is an 11xsomething and it is set at a noticeabe angle. (for torque?) The first picture is just the engine on the plane, the second is next to a OS .40 engine for a size comparison. By the looks of the plane, I may need a higher nitro content fuel for this.
