The difference i was refering to was efficency, the v-spec is better right through the power band and uses less fuel, why because it is 3 times the price and is more efficent at converting fuel into power, tighter tolerances, more detailed porting, lightened and balanced parts. that is what you pay for. only way to increase power without increasing volume (either engine or fuel) is efficency.
so you think if you sent your modded GO engine, to the engine techs at OS or Novarossi they can do anything with it? Or you think your engine is already maxed out in terms of what it can do?
On the same note, why mod something from OS or Novarossi thats has got 1000's of hours of testing and development, by someone who looks at it for 5minutes and then whips out a dremel.[&o]
even if they can get the first mod perfect, then can they replicate the same mod for the next engine? i think not.
Read post number 6 in this thread, i made my point about modding to shelf engines there.
do i think OS and Novarossi could get more out of my modded go-tech engine? yes. It comes down to how much time and money your willing to throw at it.
I got my engine modded for a particular reason. Because i was chasing something that went like my v-specs for about the same price. So i got a go-tech engine which was cheaper and had it modded. I'm know little about modding 2-stroke engine, but i'ld say the main difference would have been the improvements to the bottom end from standard. So i have got what i was after performance wise now, i'll sit back and see if it was money well spent or not. If it doesn't work out for me, i'll try something else, say an RB or the likes (if an rb c6 was even close to the same price in this country i would probably have one by now).
