RE: Engine Picking??
Look around. That LRP is a great engine.
but again google it. and search here.
as for faster...
So many things define how fast one car is from another... what pipe/header combo do you plan to run? whats your gearing? what plugs and fuel do you run?
all these play into that. Keep that in mind.
But you will notice much more power being generated at the flywheel.
