take 'er easy joe, i've never EVER hit WOT in the first 5 or 6 tanks of an engine's life.

SH and Force engines are a LOT more tolerant to abuse during breakin than STS motors

Not trying to steal the post, but I have been running a Mach .26 in my T-maxx for about 2 years now and am considering more power. The Mach .26 has been a real pleasure and most importantly, trouble free. It has about 6 gallons through it and still seams to have the same power it did new. I have been looking at and reading about the STS .30 as a replacement. Will I notice a big differance in performance between the two or is there an even better performer out there that I should consider? If I am going to upgrade, I want a very noticable power differance. Thank You.

the STS 30 will feel like it has twice the power as the Mach...
