Yeah for sure. Its a massive difference. The poor old 25 did a great job to make 399 a few years ago. Even more the 30 with the big turbo is still more responsive than the 25 with the twins.
And a 30 @ 8000rpm sounds tough.
Still havent turned on the gas yet, will only run the 50shot till i learn how to drive it then the 175shot will go in.
