Ah Magicians.... that take me back a few too.

The only possible issue that may arise with the 25 is that you may not be able to set it up for a 4 cycle run for a true 4 to 2 break when you nose up. But if you're buddy just ran the Fox 35 in a strong 2 cycle more or less peaked out run then yeah, the 25LA will match it without a hiccup and you get a muffler on it to boot.
