Well neither the B2 nor the JL is going to match the overall package of a OS Speed..... The JL will be faster then a Speed, and a B2 may get better mileage...but at the end of the day the Speed is overall a higher end engine, which is reflected in cost....... The JL will have similar bottom as a XZB Speed but will pull harder on top end, however its fuel mileage is only average....The B2 will get good mileage, but it wont have the pop or RPM of the Speed....tho it has a great feel, the Speed is just a raunchier engine overall.... If you want to exceed the overall performance of a Speed you would have to step up to something like my modified Plus4 BTT,Ninja B02,Bonito,P5 XLT,B5,B6 ......Being higher end engines there is just more for me to work with
now with that all being said for the money the JL offers you a really impressive extremely fast engine...Not the best on fuel, but runs strong and seems to last very well even under the hardest conditions...Truly has one of the strongest top ends your going to find in any offroad engine ..
The B2 is stout and solid running, but is more of a smooth enigine with greeat amounts of grunt....The top end is improved much over stock, but its nothing like the JL on top....Very good for smaller technical tracks.
