The dtm engines are good until you REALLY want to go fast. I think they have around 205-210 hp stock. which is alright with all-wheel drive. there is a kid around here thats blown up like 5 of them. But I know a kid that beats the crap out of his like you wouldnt believe, and it still runs strong. its the trans that you have to worry about at stock boost levels. so, yeah, they are really fast until you want to runs 12's or better. then they are garbage.
thats my $0.02.
