the race prepped will give you that hard hitting power you would be looking for, the full mod has more then enough power for me bottom to top, but if you want that real hard hit when u pull the trigger u will most likely enjoy the race prepped version

you would still be better off with the full mod in the mp9 since its so light and the gearing they have in it is so aggressive

Not the case for me. He's answered every email in a timely manner and has been available by phone when I have called.

same for me he always responds. He might not be able to get to stuff right away. He is a one man show. Un like Trinity. Save the bashing or smart comments for another thread.

Has nothing to due with trinity or bashing, do a search on his customer service and you'll find lot's of the same. The guy does good work there is just no service to back it up, if your located close to him you might be allright but if your not pieces of your motor will never be returned.

Hmm I live exactly 2078.84 miles, according to mapquest, from his shop and Ed's always come through for me.... no complaints here, I know he has more on his agenda than just tinkering on my motor so I give him ample time, alot of people get pushy and that doesnt speed things up at all, I think it works the opposite

+1 being pushy will get you nowhere... Most ppl know how to pay attention, and follow instructions/procedure. Those ppl get there service with a smile.
If you follow these SIMPLE policy's you will have NO problems.

I'm not gonna get into the B.S. because everyone knows your his little buddy that constantly defends him on the forum. Parts, emails, phone calls don't get returned to numerous racers but they must just be pushy, apparently instead of calling to find out when they will have there $300-$400 motor together again they should just instead wait several months until Ed gets around to sending it. I can't stand when people get on here and defend someone's bad customer service because they know the guy.
