fastest nitro engine
 

what is the fastest nitro (glow) engine out there?

small block, big block?

In most cases, its not about BIG power. Its driver ability,car setup and getting the power to the ground. I have seen it time and time again.

An avg driver shows up to the track with a top dollar vehicle, 300 engine, mega $ radio and gets SMOKED by a low dollar, well prepared racer.

well if its ported polished and balanced you can push 50,000 rpm easy

exactly. ported, polished and balanced thats gotta be pushing 60.000 rpm although its probably already pretty much ppbed to the max. i met someone in spain(sam where art though) hu had a .21( i think) pushing 51,000.

I seriously doubt that even ported and polished high £££ engines will be pushing 40 - 50,000rpm under load. I think if you measured the rpm of the engine running in a car/truck you'd be sadly disappointed.
