Best monster engine for elefant?

[koko64]

I saw some Doug Lofgren dyno charts that compared the W 900, V 900 and IE M900 motors. The graphs were under the title Evolution of the Monster 900 motor or something like that. The W heads sure keep the torque down low, so maybe dirt diggin' was a legit rationale for the Elefants/GC's at least.
No wonder your GC is a grunter!

I would say you are correct.

It's a grunter, for sure.
But in marginal traction conditions out of slow corners, one must be quite careful with the throttle.
It's a too big a beast to have it sideways going slow.
