i got a boy who is thinking of giving me a sweet deal on a used JetCat 80 Maybee that's what this jet needs vs the AMT

OK... well, then don't fool yourself. At 142K RPM... the AT-180 is only a 15 Lb thrust engine. Pushing it up to 152k makes it a 17.5~18 # engine. With the updated burner, and compressor... it's 19.5 #'s.

FYI: DO NOT hold the throttle wide open for a long time. The old engine will get hot at that RPM. But honestly... unless you are a total speed junky, it's not an issue.

I bet putting in the 152k ECU will make a HUGE difference.

I like the AMT engines... but the JetCat 80 will scrap over a pound of weight, and give you added thrust.
