I have two Novarossi 21-5 JP's 2007 versions and a os Vspec team EB Mod2007 versions. I must say after reading the above posts that all readers should keep in mind that we must compare apples to apples. Who knows how well each person has broken in and maintained thier motors to get the reults they are saying.
I know this , that a properly broken in and maintained motor from Novarossi or O.S should give you easily 4-7 gallons before you pinch. You do not need to buy a modded motor to have succses becouse I have been beaten by them with a better driver.
The O.S is definately easy to tune but if you want a motor for the long term there is nothing that lasts as long as a Novarossi and even better for more ballistic speed a Novarossi JP. I have had them all and they all are good motors if used properly. But if I had to spend someone elses money wisely it would be a stock Novarossi, then RB then O.S.

No offense, but seeing that one of your sponsors is Novarossi, its very difficult to believe that you'd have an unbiased opinion.....

I love my V-Specs. Put the ceramic bearings in and there ready to rock.
But when you say that a certain engine hasnt run you down. its not really about that engine, theres more to the car than the engine, like gearing, tire grip, etc... I love novas and RBs to.
Just stick to OS, Novarossi, and RB. You will have no problems at all.
its really up to you, both are great engiens, but anything can happen to any mass produced engine. But you cant go wrong with the V-Spec. Ive owned 5 and all have ran like champs. All pooping out at around the 5-6 gallon mark. Average for a V-Spec.

my friend is running an OS v-spec, but i've never had a chance to drive it. but i have the regular P5XS in my 8, and i love it. Great power all around, and the top-end is good. I'm running the long header w/ the 9886 pipe and it's a beauty.
I would find the motor that best suits you.

It really depends on how u tune and maintain your engines.I have had many vspecs and they all lasted a very long time averaging 8 gallons on stock engines and 11 gallons on my jp mod vspec.
Kforce is correct the new speed motors are fantastic and seem to last forever,not forgetting the awesome mileage and power.
You can never doubt a novarossi engine they are fantastic motors, although can be slightly difficult to tune sometimes,are pretty reliable and very powerful.
its a tough call between those 2 motors but i would say get the OS extremely quick and in my experience very durable and reliable.
hope i helped you with your decision

Theres nothing wrong with a P5x but I just love the V-Spec because its very smooth and the incredible fuel mileage.

thats nothing to write home to mom about....most of the guys in my local area running RB's and Nova's have been getting 6-7 before a pinch and then another 3-4 more....most every Vspec ive seen have not made it over 3 gallons and the VG's now thats a joke 1-2 and very seldom do they make 2....
