Default Race engine, not bash.

I need a new engine, I have a GS storm pro, I dont know what engine to get, I'm running on tight/medium size tracks. Now if I asked wich to choose I consider the RB WS7II X3, P5 21-5 plus, (C6-BB is this a topspeed engine)? Well Its needed for short/medium sized tracks and if you have a suggestion, please post.. my budget is about the RB WS7II X3

The C5 C6 is supposed to be the most powerful engine out there.

It is also renowned for awesome bottom end power, BB = Better Bottom.

C5. Mine rocks, great low end and pulls hard through the power band. This little engine will bald tires in a hurry on pavement. My first race is friday, most everyone at my track is running the OS engines so well see how the C5 holds up. Goods luck to them.

C5 BB will be discontinued, the C6 will take its place.

I'd say get the new WS7III.

P5X.
Although i do own two v-specs, for the tight track of yours the P5X would be the best choice.

well. I could ask this question million of times, there is simply no answer, I just got the money for high end engines and need one of them.. It has to be a good one, but people has 100 different opinions.. I know the C5 and C6 is completely out of its mind, so I think I'll go with the C6. I've seen that engine in action (C5) as well as the RB WS7II. Certainly, RB is the best engines you could get. I've come to the point where its easy to control and make fast corners with my present engine and thats why I need better
Also the P5 21-5 should have a quite smooth powerband, but the choice of engine is only a matter of taste imo.
