Oh, the Kohler Commander has insane tuning capability. It doesn't have
the aftermarket like the Predator 670 or the Tillotson and Predator
212s, but almost all of these engines can be modded. Most are good for
around 20% with just carb and exhaust, but the BAJA SAE has to run
totally bone stock. No engine mods allowed. Not exhaust, not intake,
not ignition, nothing. I asked kind of in disgust, "so where is the opportunity for engineering innovation?" I'd love to see an arduino controlled electronic advance on the fly ignition or some other crazy
mods, but NOOOOOO.
