Status: offline 		Hello everyone I am the owner of racefactor industries the U.S. dist. for Go Tech. engines. I thought i would come on here to answer any questions about the Go Tech line of engines. So if anyone has any questions fire away and i will try to get on here as often as possible.

Regarding the O.S. turbo button head, even if the o.s. turbo button head fits the bolt pattern of the go engine i would reccomend against it. There is .2mm of shimming machined into the go tech turbo button head, this coupled with two shims (1x.1mm, 1x.2mm) to give you .5mm of head clearance, If you were to use the o.s. head you may end up with an improperly shimmed head and that can cause all kind of tunning and performance issues. Best way to check is to open up the engine and check for detonation. If you do have detonation i reccomend a complete teardown and cleanup of the engine to help get any metal chips out of the engine. All this is uneccesary if you just purchase a Go Tech Turbo head button part no. 21-0207 (please see your local dealer)

also the o.s. p3 plug seems to work great

Status: offline 		Are you having a temp problem? i wouldn't think there would be alot of difference but the OS is probably the better of the two.

If your engine is running hot a really big cooling head might treat the sympton but it wont treat the problem.

Status: offline 		The Go head is definitely better for cooling. You can compare size, fins and area. It is bigger in size.

Status: offline 		Finished break in and after about 16 tanks had the motor set at race tune yesterday at practice. I'm running Byron's %30 and a Sportwerks HT pipe with the short "U" header and a 13t bell in my Mayhem Pro. It was really cold at the track-about 25 degrees f on the track but the motor stayed rock solid at 225 and idled all day.

I drag raced my buddy with a modded RB WS72 in a Losi 8 down the 110' back straight repeatedly and he had nothing on me. I know he had better traction however. I had to brake before the motor topped out so I can't wait for summer so I can hit the 215' straight.

The motor had no problems getting me over the somewhat tight but flowing in field with no problems. So far so good. For the price I'd say it's a winner. Longevity is the next question but I'm confident.
