If you go back to the V92 two stroke Detroit engines you need to be a bit, emphasize bit', more cautious. These engines need to be kept wound up when under load. Since these engine fire every cylinder on each revolution these engines sound like they are running twice as fast as a four stroke which causes some drivers to lug them since it sounds "right" to them. These engines do not tolerate lugging, the heads overheat. It is a great and reliable engine and I LOVE the sound it makes. And when the Jake kicks in it is even AWWESOMER.
