Hello, I am going to put the 5.9 in my savage x . I ordered the alloy diff housingsand the three speed tranny. Is there any other upgrades I need to do to?
 
rest of the upgrades sound good except the 5.9, because i heard that mill is not all that great and a f4.6 is better. if you are looking to upgrade good mills are picco .28, lrp .28, and a mill that just came out and maybe worth looking at would be the lrp .30, this is what i might be getting soon or a picco .28.

welcome smoke gr8 to have ya.

if you got the 3 speed tranny your gonna want the hi-speed 3rd gear. other than most upgrades are a matter of personal preference.

there are some great threads on the forum so maybe take a cruise through them.

heres a great thread of peep's top 10 upgrades : https://www.hpisavageforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3697
 
Yes a big NO to the 5.9 out of me. I had one not just hear say here.

Combuster said it best...
 
Welcome Friend!! if you already got a 5.9, sell it and get another mill. Not saying you wouldn't like it, but there are definitely better engines out there for the same price.
 
No 5.9 but picco .28 question

I appreciate the advice and I am not going to get the 5.9. My next question is I am looking at the picco .28. There are two models the P3 and the newer model I have access to both which one should I get and why. Thanks again guys
 
They are the same mill less carb. the newer carb may be less hassle IDK never ran it much
