Default Which Engine for Hellfire??

I'm getting ready to purchase a Hellfire SS kit and am looking for recommendations for a good engine to put into it?? What are you current Hellfire owners running in your's??

I won't be doing any racing. Just bashing and playing, so a high dollar race ready engine isn't what I'm after.


Thanks!

Im gonna hold out.

We got the new .30 VG's in (the one with the roto start attached).

And the country wide sale starts on the 24th.

So ill try and get that if possible, my other .30 is dead, piston and sleeve gone.

Theyre immensly powerfull.

Also anyone know how if possible to paint a cooling head.?
