please explain any diffeences if any

FlyinGN · 11-17-2003, 06:30 AM

basically no differences. Heads and crank are different but I think they are the same stength.

Different pistons also. Both engines can blow up easy if you don't know what you are doing.

The TTA techincally has a different crank and pistons but they all seem to take about the same abuse. Generally the TTAs are faster mod for mod but the reason why is debated at length. usa

The TTA might be lighter? Maybe?
