Default V-twin command engines
What are some good ways to get more power out of a V-twin command without a lot of high performance parts? We aren't allowed many performance parts. We are allowed to bore .030 over and an open duration .245 lift cam and thats about it. Thanks for any help.

We have an 18 horse engine and believe it does not have much done to it. Bought it as is. Just want to stay competitive on a budget. Would love to do a 25 horse engine, but trying to save up for that. We are allowed 4250 rpm's, front flywheel, .030 over bore and the cam mentioned above. No other performance enhancing parts. I am located in Marshall.

Thanks i'll look into this. Does anyone know the cam specs. on the 18hp the 27hp camshafts? I heard there may be a little bit of power with a 27hp cam also.

Not sure how far you are from Wyoming, Illinois but, there is a man there that can make it run. I would highly recommend him if you have the $$$ to spend. If you want his information send me a PM.

Are you allowed to run a box that controls timing or is that a performance part?

The box is not allowed. Cannot run adjustable flywheels either. We can run velocity stacks. Is that any help at 4250 rpm's? I want to thank you all for the replies and we will check into all suggestions.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
