The weight to power ratio improved drasticaly from box stock:

I can guess the stock .21BB pumps out about 1.9 hp while the C5 is rumored to be close to 3.0 full horse

The weight box stock is around 5.300 kg (11.67 lbs), while mine is now at 4.900 kg (10.79 lbs). I am sure weight could go down even more, probably around 10 pounds...

So weight to power ratio went from 11.67/1.9=6.14 lbs/hp to 10.79/3=3.6 lbs/hp :)

That's quite a bit, and performance are nothing short of spectacular now :D

- RB086 pipe
