Thats one of the best .12 you can get.
Be sure to pick up the Picco 2067 pipe with it, it really wake it up on the bottom.

i dont know if hard is the right word, as much as precise. it has a narrower tuning window than others, but really flies, at a great price.

Call Sam to see when they are getting the pipe sets back in. The engine makes more power with the 2607 matching pipe set.

So get a cheaper pipe, Skyline or THS. The engine has very aggressive port timing and won't run to it's potential, but it will save you $50 bucks. Then you will have to buy the right pipe.

As you can see, both the engine and pipe are out of stock. Why? To get the same performance from the next best combo will cost you more than twice as much. Ask the Sirio and Nova guys how much they paid.
