Default RE: Time for another engine



So...I *think* I've made my decision on what to throw in my Mugen. And (not surprisingly) it's notone on my initial list.

<u>Werks B6Competiion</u>. Much of thisis based on talking with folks at the track, and the track layout, etc. Lot of guys running these and having good success, which is enough for me. Granted 90% of them have something called a "clocked engine" ;-)

I really came close to the Ninja (or clocked P5). But my rationale is this: Do I really anticipate losing a race because I'm not running a Ninja (or even a clocked engine)? No. I anticipate losing because I'm new and need lots of practice. ;-) I figure by the time I'd at the point I can really compete, I'll have put 5+ gallons in the Werks. If I like it, I stay with it (perhaps even get one clocked). If not, I upgrade to something else. As for the pipe, I'm looking at the 2013. I really think over the next eight months, I'll get a feel for what I am missing, and then at that time go whole hog on what is best suited for me.</p>
