I didn't see anything for the LST2 yet. I emailed them though. Looks neat...

there was a big thread on this.

according to mag testing, the performance increase is borderline negligable.

idea is that on a 2stroke motor the exhaust and intake ports are both open together; meaning its impossible to pressurize the cyclinder. push air in and itll go right out.

the small benefit is that it is more efficient at clearing the cylinder exhaust out. so there is that gain.

all in all, for the cost, a better engine would almost always be leaps and bounds more economical.

I have to agree with the better engine deal. If I was building some kind of show truck or something maybe I would put a NOS system on there or a super chager, but if its performace your after theres nothing better than a better engine or some modding. I'd take some professional engine modding any day over a super charger or NOS, like I was getting at, its cool to look at and what not but really nothing more than added weight and partial gains with the supercharger if any, and temporary gains with NOS that do more damage than good.

That might be a little tough seeing Nitrous Xpress makes the kits, NOS doesn't. I know you mean nitrous system when you say NOS, I just wanted to give you a hard time.
