Tuning group?

It is certainly laggier than it would be with something more setup for the engine size. Just depends what kind of engine you wanted, this owner wanted a top ender with something more progressive. I prefer low end response but that's me. Still making 200lbft at 2000rpm so not exactly undrivable.

It's just a shame the clutch on these is so frail, ~280lbft was on the limit of the 10k clutch. These need some kind of uprated clutch kit if more folks are wanting to do these kinds of builds.

Haven't got a stock file for one of those to hand but guessing they have a higher flow rate? The stock ZT ones just couldn't get the fuel in quick enough
