The New MS880 AS Compared To An 088

[Mastermind]

I have a 088 and an MS880 here that I'm porting. Figured this would be a good time to compare the new 880 to the 088, to see what is really different. As many of you guys may know, the new MS880 is RPM limited.......and most of you will want to know how to get around that.

If you're going to that place on North Main, try the General Tso's. It's made from Terrier.

I'd like to see both these on chads dyno. I have a newer 880 for baseline saw. Or if I can have tree monkey tune mine and run all three.

First things first, how was lunch?

Let me sees, hows about a MS170 unlimited coil, there again may take two of em.

Course there again I'm kinda tarted, but I think I'm on the right track.

I have heard a old model (not auto tune) 441 coil works.
