Hey guys, im new to racing and just got a 20hp briggs opposed motor and want to add a little bit to it. Is there a main/major upgrade that should be done first or 1 upgrade that mite make the most difference?  I was thinking about starting out with a flywheel, am i going in the right direction? :confused:

IF YOU EVER INTEND TO RUN WITHOUT THE GOVERNOR YOU WILL NEED A FLYWHEEL SO THAT'S A GREAT PLACE TO START

depends on the bank..... Ed's bank... go big... $100 won't do it.
Rods and pistons, along the flywheel. There are a few used cams
floating around for a cheaper price. Still in the $700 range. A tad
less, if you find some used rods. EC has springo lookings, retainers, and keepers
for those valves. If this is your first engine, and just looking to beat on it, get
a single flathead, and sit this one back til you have the money to mess
with it.
