It has alot of lowend. Youll need a pipe like the dynamite 086 to give it a bit more top end and maybe gear it higher. Should be fine.

With my Go 3 port sport, I couldn't get it to respond until over 280 degrees. By then, I couldn't restart it because of vapor lock. Horrible engine. Worst $125 I have ever spent.

It was probably a bad carb issue.

RE: Go Technology engine question
putting the extra shim in helps drop compression during break in... . just takes a bit of stress off the rod and beerings... remember to pre heat with a heat gun and you will be good 
as for fuel.... i believe its one shim for 20% and two shims for 30% i run both my GO's on 20% with one shim and OS P3 plugs and they run fantasticly.... hope that helps....
