They're AWESOME... It's a world of diff. on speed and torque. You can put a quiet muffler on with no problem.

Tell the wife "dirty" made ya do it.

The CPP kit is easy to install. Call Tom over there and tell him how wonderful dirty talks about him...

That should scare the hell outta him...

The G9 version kit will work on your G8. I had to cut off about 1" of the engine mount (at the back) so it would not hit the cross member on the swing arm. If you put the BigBlock in, set up right for you, you can climb any hill you want and drag a deer and an elk

Huge difference over a stock motor. First time I drove mine after I got it finished I don't think I stopped smiling for a week.

Will A Briggs 16 Hp Put Out Much More Power Than Stock In My G-14 Or Do I Really Need To Go To A 18 Or 2o Something. I Can Get A New 16 Vanguard Complete With Electric Start. How Much Trouble In Installing It Into My G-14
