BOCA has always been good to me, the TKO's have a great rep and either are far better than stock. Might be a good time to change the rod too.

Keep a close eye on the crank case of that V-spec. I saw another one break this weekend. That's 4 or 5 at our club track just this summer alone. I mention it because the last one I saw, the guy thought he had a bad rear bearing and when we went to install it discovered the crack. They have all been along the bottom of the case. OS won't do much for you if you crack the case, just offered a discount (not much of one) on a new V-spec. Don't get me wrong, I think the V-spec makes great power but I think they are having a problem that they won't admit too.

Get the TKO every thing they sell is top shelf and the customer service is the best. You have any question you talk to the CEO not some guy on the phone.
