I have a Savage .25 and I want to upgrade the power plant.
My buddy has the Truckzilla conversion but is there anything better?

At this point money is no problem I would just like to shut his mouth

Or go get one of the .26 motors (Picco or derivative)

The .46 is a stumppuller, but it only turns ~23k rpm. The Piccos give up horsepower to the .46, but they'll turn well over 30k rpm.

Are these the only choices for powerplants or are these the only ones worth swapping?
