horsepower wise, the DTX18 only makes about what a .12 CVR does...
but it makes MASSIVE torque, wheelstandingly badass torque. i think it's a pretty sweet mill as far as that's concerned.

As far as longevity is concerned, it *should* last you at least 4 gallons if you're an experianced nitro guy. the biggest problem with them not lasting is newbies are generally who owns them. not sayin anything bad, but you gotta admit its true, lol
