I have both of the new engines and they run like a champ. The S21T is ridiculously smooth with tremendous power. The 28 5-port is a high reving beast. I feel the same about these new engine as Supertib feels about Picco engines. LOL.

dayglo,

It only comes in turbo. I run the JP-3 on both of my engines.

Status: offline 		The STS pipe is a Great Match for the MKII(not just saying that because we sell them) it really is! I ran it with the JP1 and JP3 and the STS Pipe makes a noticeable difference. I think anyone here who has ran an STS engine with pipe would agree.

Good Luck......PJM

right! i have used the dynamite 007 HT pipes and liked them but the hobao .28 pipe makes the sts''s ad rb''s fly, what pipe is that? i may just buy another. i have my new cranks on order, still have awesome pinch on the motors so they should last another 5 gallons.

Status: offline 		Not sure what you mean by the Hobao 28 pipe or do you mean the on that comes with the Hyper ST? The Hobao pipe I run is the one that came with my Hyper 8 pro buggy. Most people I know running truggy are running 21 for fuel economy.

Status: offline 		yes, its the hyper st stock pipe. on the side it says "hobao for .28 engines". i stuck it on there for kicks and its better on the S5 than my dynamite 007. i''m gonna try it on the S3 next.

Status: offline 		All my STS big blocks came shimmed for 30% so no it doesn't need any and I would leave them all in till its broken in then I'd pull some out.
