Well if you want lots of low end power to get up and go, easiset thing to do is to gear it high. You gear it right, a stock briggs will do burnouts! But without a torque convertor, you will be speed limited of course with a high gear ratio. But to enhance low end power, you can use a "torque tube" for an exhaust, specifically a Robertson's torque tube. Lots of racers use them with great results. Playing with the exhaust is a great way to fine tune the power band of the engine. Here's a link to all the Briggs 5HP exhaust pipes: http://www.robertsonstorquetubes.com/products_briggs5hp.htm#briggs5hp1r

Lol, well i'm also on www.4cycle.com, where there is tons of info, mostly on racing karts and engines. Briggs info, Honda, ect, its all on there on the forums. I am planning on racing karts next year, so i'm doing a lot of research.. :) Building my import drag cars is just getting too expensive..so i wanted to do something more in financial reach, as well as fun! Unfortunately, the bills come first.

well first of all you can. but i personally wouldent. you risk blowing up your motor. your better off getting some performance parts for it :)

itll set you back a whopping $40 for all of it! ;)
