I really need help choosing engine.
The engines are:

LRP Z.28R
Dynamite Mach.26
Fantom .27

I really dont need high top speed, I want the most power at low and mid RPM.
I was also wondering if the HPI ribbed pipe will work well with these engines,
and also what would be the best pipe for Torque ?

Please comment.
 
hi i've gotta picco .26 engine and that is fast, amazing low-end and top end, my dad has the mach .26 and that's basically the same, very torquey and lot's of top-end, i was goona get the fhantom but the engine i got already is big enough, you don't want any more power than that really,
 
I've got the mach and it's a screamer with gobs of low end. I don't even have to think about flipping her over and that's with a tsais pro pipe. I've heard that the ribbed pipe will get more out of it but I've only run the tsais on it so I can't compare it to anything. Make sure you do the 4 spider mod before you drop anything stronger than the s25 in there. My s25 was strong enough to trash my stock 2 spider diffs and the mach trashed my 4 spider diffs so I went to all alloy cups and gearboxes which are holding up.
 
Any of those mills will do the job but i found the picco .26 to be perfect for the truck as long as you have the spider mod. I use the ribbed pipe and have found it to be awesome at low and mid using a 49/16 combination also has more top end than some stock .25's i have bashed with. make sure you also upgrade the air filter, the stock one sucks big time.
