RE: dont know what to do
the os will put out about the same horsepower as the 3.3 not much difference just a better motor. i think you are looking for a picco .26 max which is a direct drop in other then the motor mount. but from what i hear they have ALOT more power then the 3.3. the os will be more reliable and hold a better tune.

RE: dont know what to do
the picco has been having all sorts of troubles with the front bearing leaking lately, on top of that they are hard to get because some equipment ofna uses to manufacture the picco is down, and the complete package of engine, mount and pipe for the engine is more then $200, but if you so wish you can use the stock pipe (that will kills the piccos performance however), my suggestion would be to go the O.S for now, and then once the O.S wares out, go another engine, by then production of the picco will be in full swing again, i would think the front bearing leak problem would be fixed, and if you wish the O.S .21 will be out in the U.S by then so you could go that as well.

That is my review on the Picco, I guess I got a later batch because mine had no leaks.

Get the OS.18... they are a direct drop in and are easy to start, tune, and install. The price is around 150 USD for the regular and you can also get a fully modified version for 280 USD.
Great performance all around and the best value by far.
