Great here. I do need a new .12 and .12 pipe though. I'm eying the JP stock .12, but I'm torn between the .12TZ, EB mods TZ, and the Mega ZX12 which all I've seen in races are pretty fast.
From what I've seen, there is a race spec .12TZ. See the following link:

The article is in French, but I hope the pics speak for themselves.

From the pics, the ports are milled to the max such that it does not need to be ported to squeeze out max power. As a matter of fact, the engine is so ported out that any modder will have a hard time trying to port it any more. This engine has got to make the R40 pull some sick accelerations!
That isnt really the best version of the tz. If you wait for the zeppin modded tz which is around the same price, the work on that is 10x better and it includes ceramic bearings.
