Which engine to put in a truggy?

I am thinking of converting my RD Logics SHO into a truggy and I was wondering what do you guys think is the best engine/pipe for it?

Would the Wasp .26 be a good engine since it is a high RPM engine?

well, i think it all depends where you will be driving your truggy, and if it is going to be used at your local track, how many straights, switchbacks, doubles, triples your track has.

We have not made this years track yet, but it will be a big track with some decent sized straights, few doubles and triples. I am pretty sure it is going to be more of a speed track rather than a technical track.
