I would go with a comet 40 torq-a-verter. A little more expensive then the TAV2 but rated for a higher horsepower rating. What size shaft do you have?

i actually just thought about it and im thinkg i am gonna go with an 8 horse instead. i know most of yall are running the TAV2, how are your experiences with this??? and do you think that it will give me what i am looking for like i stated in my first post??

Yup, I ran one on my go kart and got great speed and great acceleration. Just make sure you get a 12 tooth driver for more speed as the 10 will give you awesome acceleration but not so great top speed.
