for that price range just for an engine probably anything you would like and the biggest.
 
If you properly tune your mach it will be just fine. You could do an exhaust upgrade such as a jp-3 or somthing like that to help with adding great ammounts of power.
 
How much fuel have you run through your engine? My LST(1) with the stock .26 wouldn't pop wheelies until I had really gotten it broken in and tuned. Now that I have a gallon+ through her, and the tune as good as I can get it without leaning her out too badly, she will pop wheelies from a stand-still. Still not enough power to do it on-demand at part throttle...
 
My buddies used to do it without a problem. That was after he swapped out the stock clutch shoes/springs with HPI Savage teflon shoes/springs. That was with stock everything else.

If you want wheelies all the time, the LRP28S3 will do it. It's around $180. Mine runs really good with the losi HT pipe (stock LST2 pipe).

only about half a gallon. i think i need to tune it better cause it doesn't even get up and go when i throttle it from a stand still, it just ceeps then starts to excelerate. think i ned to lean it out?

I do think you need to lean it out. The factory settings are too rich if you ask me. My truck did the same thing--it wouldn't move under throttle unless I mashed on the trigger for 5 seconds or so. I leaned mine out about a 1/4 to a half turn and it took off. Just don't over-do it. Lean it out an hour (picture the face of an analog clock) at a time until it it launches when you hit the throttle. Just don't lean it out too much or your engine will wear out quickly...

Hope this helps!
