Well, finally got the Sportwerks .26 in my Savage broken in and tuned up.
All I can say is.................Hoe-Lee Shee-Ott!  Damn thing screams!  It
must be the pipe (HPI Polished) as I have the exact same engine in my buggy
(THS 8015T pipe) and truggy (Sportwerks HT Pipe) and neither are as ballsy
as this thing is.  Going DOWN my driveway (downhill) at around 15mph, 1/4
throttle blip brings the fronts off the ground.  Wheelies on command with
the slightest throttle input from a dead stop.  Top speed is insane!  All
this running 230-250* which indicates I can still further lean if I so
choose.

I need to get a few more polished pipes for my buggy and truggy now as this
engine really likes em'!
