Wow another engine > Extech, Go, and JS etc. The last production engine really caused a lot of issues for many. Ive had some many guys PM'ing me saying things about what happened and reasons for not buying.These are guys with good reputations with personal dealings.

Don't want to cause a fight is America live your dream but something isn't working not sure if its business practices.

Ed and I have had our differences in the past, but you can't fault Ed for doing what he's doing. He's no millionaire or anything and he's trying to make it. He's had designs, of his own, for quite some time and dealing with a factory to make that engine over seas takes QC out of his hands. Engines are only as good as the materials they are made from.

Extech engines were good, but had their issues... Sirio based and now the Werks series, Orion, and NVision stuff has been worked out several years later. Not to mention Trinity/EPIC (Ernie Provetti) was in charge of everything and I know his track record with people. He's not the greatest person to do business with... IMO.

Go engines are on god knows what version now. Not the most popular, but decent engines after their generations of testing and remodeling.

The JS engines, while they were good engines, weren't reliable and wore out quick on people. Just simply sub standard materials and build quality.

I ran for Ed for a little while and he was always working hard and still is to make what he has work. Let him work things out and get this engine going before judgement is made. I think he's been through the war enough to know that this would be his last shot at it. I wish him luck and hope it goes well.

LOL,, ExTech engines were good, Trinity was not... and are no longer in business. I am still friends with Andrea Rossi formerly of Star Motor / Sirio.

GO engines agreement was with Race Factor, and was only a one year thing during which time I helped develop the JS Racing engine with Simon Yii of GO engines. Do you need anything else clarified for you Big Jay?

I wish you the best of luck Ed, I think an american made engine is a great idea. I would love to see it work out and succeed.

And thats whats hard about having a business, The things that were out of his control were the problems and not anything of his doing.

Good luck Ed,

Lance

so a js wears out quick its a "problem" but a v-spec wears out quick "thats just how they are", i never understood that. bottom line, how was the performance and for how long vs how much it cost, js's won that more than lost. good luck ed with the new motors.
