The Cheetah is the Trinity variant, has power valves that give you a more ridable powerband. It changes port timong in the lower and midrange then opens up as you hit the top end. The t-rex has no power valve. If you're draggin or hill shootin, you won't need no steenking power valves.

all the t-rex's had powervalves....just up to the builder if they wanted to use them or not. I use them on all mine, but some say they don't need them for drag racing. I run long hills too so I think they are beneficial. The main difference from the T-rex to the cheeta is the cheeta is a nikilsil bore, and a t-rex is a cast iron boreable sleeve. The cheeta is not a boreable sleeve unless you are re-coating it. This takes some time to do (1 to 2 weeks). so if your play rinding them or not pushing the envelope, then cheeta's are the way to go. if your going to make any jetting mistakes or are worried about it then the t-rex's are the way to go. Be sure to have the castings cleaned up if you buy the t-rex's....they are bad when you first get them!!!! Personally i like the T-rex's... stock stroke mono blocks are NOT worth the $$$$. Worthless tractors....port your stock cylinders and save your $$$. With a stroke the cheetas and t-rex's run hard..... They make the same amount of HP and run the same so it's really up to you.
