Default 12v question

no you cant just put a 30v head on it.. actually you can get more power out of the 12v... check out the 12v developmental forum on audiworld.com or checkout 12v.org

Everyone complains about the 12v. I don't think its that bad of an engine. It does what it needs to.

it will give you a little gain but not much, it will remove the speed limiter and raise the rev limiter too

a guy named mance used to make a lot of parts for this engine, if you can get a hold of him let me know, i havent been able to and i heard he doesnt make parts anymore, and if any of you 12v'ers have his parts that you're done with i would be glad to buy them
