modified or not modified?
is it worth the price?
im getting a new engine on friday, and want to know if anyone has any experience with both stock and modifed versions of small block engines?
the price difference is ALOT! is the power gain that noticeable?

Yes, the power is noticeable. But, you have to tune it on a constant basis to have it running at its optimum levels. Also, watch you temperature. Make sure you don't join the 300-400 club.

what i was looking at was the either the RB X12, or the RB Rody X12.
The x12 is only 149.00 - the rody is 269.00 - that is a HUGE difference in price. that is why i ask.
Basically - if i went from the stock version to the rody version - will it have the "holy cow! what a difference!" factor? or just "hmmm....this is a lil quicker" ?

IMO, i dont think it is that big of a difference to justify for the price.
and besides...think about your needs...
do you really need the fastest engine?
or maybe you are just having fun bashing around..
hope this helps

b - i do race at several tracks around FL - so the engine is important to me. i have been winning too much in novice, so they are making me move up to expert, where everyone is running mod engines. reliability is also important to me too. i will not be bashing this car - just racing

nitroaddict why dont you go ahead and bump up
without changing engines and see if your current
engine can hang if not go get a modded and you can see if there is a difference yourself.
Just make sure what ever modded engine you get that
they can supply you with replacement p/s set so that
you can get your moneys worth doing rebuilds on it.

jwf - good point regarding the PS availability.
i currently do not have an engine that will fit the new car i just built, so i need a new engine.
