Default Need New Engine for HPI

I have a Nitro RS4 3 EVO with a T-15 Engine. What would any of you recommend to put on my car to go way faster? O.S., Novarossi, HPI, etc.? I might also need an engine mount.[8D]

I was thinking about getting an 18 TZ. Wouldn't it work also? Here's a review:

What ever you pick i hope you know that the engine unless it has significantly more rpm then your last engine did your car's on the top end speed will not any faster then what it is now. It will accelerate a lot faster but your overall speed will pretty much stay the same. If you want more top end speed you will have to change the bell gear or the spur gear for that.

With that being said i would go for the O.S .18 cvr i have this engine and it has a ton of power and is very easy to tune. I used the heat cycle method on my engine to break it in and it runs better then i could have ever hoped for.

Whatever engine you choose you cant really go wrong with OS. I personally reccomend a CV-RX due to the pull start.
