Hmm....
I beg to differ....
I BELIEVE the old saying that an engine is just a LARGE air pump...
the more air in and the more/faster air out (to an extent) the more power...
is that not true ?

Personally my SCMT has enough power that it already makes me nervous so I do not full throttle it from a dead stop while towing (afraid it is going to break something).
