The Sirio.23 will be a great choice from what I hear.

or if you dont have that money get the sleeve and piston kit to rebuild it

Ok yes the Sirio is an awesome motor, yes I have one and would recommend it to anyone in search of the ultimate drop in motor..(you see the "but" coming) BUT!!! I would not recommend this motor to anyone who has the stock drive train, stock cvds, plastic spur, and barely to anyone running reverse still. This motor will eat the stock drivetrain alive...


Just my observations

Man some people have the nerve! You get 8 gallons through your 2.5 and your complaning? Your lucky! [X(] lol As stated above if you go with the Siro plan on put some money in the drivetrain!
