Matt
I have a Kent 266, I like it a whole lot better then my other engine
with a Vizard VP7 which is close to the 276. With the 266 the power is
right there at 1000 rpms and right on up thru normal street driving. The
VP7 was a bit lumpy at idle and did not have the power off the line like
the 266.

My opinion.
