Hello Ken,
Your right about the 12A engine, the same can be said of the 10A, however 
can no longer get parts for the 10A and the 12 A is getting a little more 
difficult. I believe their still racing with the 12A's.
The 12A would be ok to P-port , personally I would use the smaller 1.5" PP 
on this engine. I often wonder what a PP 10A would be like.
