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

<u>Werks B6 Competiion</u>. Much of this is 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>

Probably your best bet quite honestly.... as I do not think your ready for a modified engine quite yet ..... you still have plenty to learn before I would feel comfortable selling you a modified engine anyways......
lol, WHUT?

Have you even seen the guy race to make that judgment?

I would hand over my 6S truggy to John to drive on any given Sunday. Anyone who races weekly as he does, has more than enough skills to handle any nitro engine. Unless the 'clocking' process involves installing a dilithium chamber and warp core? lololololol.

I'm only playin with you mate, but really...that was a cracker.

By the way John, my only remaining nitro engine (and its not even in a car at the moment) is my Ninja .28, loved that engine, what a beast, bottom and top end in spades.
