My Speed has 3 gallons on it now and it has excellent compression, bearings and rod are still in perfect shape, I did change the rod after run in though.

Get the NOVA!!

No, not even true. I heard terrible story about Nova as well. I have OS speed VSpec II for about two months, and it is so much better/smoother than my GO engine. I haven't tried toroNero but I have a Plus 4. I think OS speed has more bottom end power than Plus4. Well, I just have the Plus4 for couple wks. I guess I need more time on it before I can draw a conclusion.

Oh, one weakness of OS speed is the price!!! Both Nova Plus 4 and ToroNero are cheaper
