The Animal arrived today

There is a big difference there.
Yes he had a 9hp factory engine. It's larger and setup to make the power at to low of a RPM. So it's more weight, and less RPM.
You have lighter weight, and higher RPM. That will win every time.
Now if he had a 6.5hp Honda, or 7hp Subaru with the same carb you would be in trouble. Same weight and same RPM, or better. The good thing that helps the briggs is the larger cam, and the Animal has a aluminum flywheel.

Regarless, its fast. Oh, and I did not run that muffler. Thats something my brother put on it because neigbors would complain when they rode the go kart in the neigborhood. I had a stinger pipe on it. It was LOUD! Too loud. So the Subies are good? They have the 7hp at harbor frieght for like 299. I might pick one up for my next project and slap a motorcyle carb on it and fab a header for it. I have to fab a new header for the animal because that muffler is not going to cut it.
Well..... If I might make a suggestion, If you ever decide to build that motor whic personally I would, Buy a good ported head for that motor from dyno cams, also buy your cam and all valvetrain componets from them. They are great to deal with, Also put you a good tilly in that thing and let it breath!
No forged steel rods available.
Dyno Cams does that to be secret with other small engine cam companies. It really doesn't work either.
The difference is that the briggs WF cam is a grind that's factory made for running on gasoline. And it's a slightly milder grind all together. It also has the compression release on it, that makes it easy to pull start your engine.
The only thing the Animal has on the WF is the aluminum flywheel. The WF flywheel is cast iron, with a different timing mark. All the other WF parts are upgrades for the Animal.
