It looks like I have decided on the Werks B2 (maybe the B5) with the 2058 pipe from nvision versus the one from Werks......I save 40 bucks and get the same exact pipe.

The B2 is about 150 and the pipe is 60....so for around 200 bucks I get a proven quality
setup with great support.

I just realized the B2 is actually a 3 port not a 2 port. I thought it was a 2 port because the B5 is a 5 port and the B6 is a 6 port.

Based on the information I gathered it confirms to me that this engine has a fantastic low end torque and great mid and high and hold a good tune window.

It is one of the only engines with a metal carb, has a lower head design, rod made of 7075-T6, outputs almost 2.5 hp and all the other top notch specs I read.

Also, the last thing on the list which is really not that important but if I get it, it's nice....the fact that the head is black. It is hot looking and will go will any body color scheme!

Now, the B5 is cool too for an extra 50 bucks....5 ports, outputs about 2.7hp and operates at a max 39,000 rpm while the B2 max at 34,000 rpm.

So......$210 or .........$260 !!!!!!!! I guess it depends on my Real Estate deals!!!!!!!
FWIW
From the B6 description --------

Developed as a specialized 1/8 buggy engine, the B6 has been designed to provide the precise control that is required to compete at the highest levels of off-road buggy racing. The B6 is a true 5 port engine that offers buttery smooth bottom end power delivery, with a strong mid to top end pull.
