hello i am sort ov new to this hobby i am wanting to no how to get the best and most power from my hpi savage s25 nitro engine i have ported and polished the piston sleeve which i did on my xtm xt2 and it still works perfect with bit better top end.so after porting and polishing the sleeve what is the next but easyest thing i can do to get the best proformance out of it after the sleeve and how easy is it to do also what is the best battery pack to use in it and the cheapest battery pack and charger.thank you in advance for all the help.thanks again
 
The safest is to get a better pipe. What pipe do you have?

Most people don't "port" their own engines as it typically just screws them up. But, if you have the $ to try, then go for it.

Charger: http://www.onlybatterypacks.com/showitem.asp?ItemID=11862.12
Pack: http://www.onlybatterypacks.com/showitem.asp?ItemID=12320.103

Little cheaper pack: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXVRH2&P=7

Cheap combo: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXTUG9&P=7
Guessing the pack is a 1200mah or less...

The first set I listed above is a better deal though, battery has more run time and the charger is a peak charger.
