Windy, this all happens to be just as pertinent as Sniper/Shearer comparison...which you already know the truth to anyways. It's all about entertainment!!! Nobody really wants the truth, they want fit and finish...at the expense of hp/tq.
Race gas...if you want that Cub to run hard! Pump if you want to save money, all depends on how you ride and how often imo. Motors are like a weapon or tool, you choose it according to what your doing!
