the higher the power ,the better...
i'd go with the NITRO STAR T-15 that has 1.2 hp..

if ur worrying about the powerband, juts put a taller gear to make up for the low rpm..

Hey,

I'd say go for the T-15, I've also had the 15SS in my car, and it is nothing compared to the T-15! My friend has a Associated Truck with lots of mods and a 2 Speed, and my car is a single speed and I can beat him with my car! I highly suggest the T15, it is easy to tune and very fast. Here is the link to my car, pics are a bit old but its still pretty much the same. http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=445491
