ok what ive wondered if that youd get more hp out of your engine if you started putting the mods on it before its ever been used. not sure if it applys to rotaries or 4 strokes or not. but on RC cars, if your going to start doing things to the engine you want to do it before you ever run it which makes it faster...is it the same with these engines?

You probably can get more HP but you still have to take it easy until you run your motor in..

I think its more everything is new and working to its maximum potential... rather than it being better.

well im talking about running the engine for 5 minutes and then doing the mods, and doing the mods and then running it for 5 mins. the one with the mods done first would be better.
