the Picco makes the highest power on the dyno.... so IMO the Picco can't be beat when it comes to power...

if you are asking for the fastest engine then check out the murnan modified novarossi 353 or the m353r. if you are not looking for a moded engine then the new novarossi 353 09 is very fast.

novarossi 353 maybe, but can you handle it. sometimes the fastest is not the best. are you racing straights? you also have to think about your setup. are you competing at pro level?

Novarossi 353 tuned if money is not an issue.  STS S12X5 slightly less highend but cheaper.  Got both and love both of them.

i have a Sirio XXX and it is very fast and reliable... i can catch up to the 353s easily (Still running a little rich ) After 3 months just changed only 1 spark just to be on the safe side. A very good engine... recommended..
