What you would call designer, or made under specs:
IDM Evo2
LRP Spec3
Ofna JLR Red Dot
Mega Zx DsII

Moded or Tuned:
Solaroli Tuned (Italy)...no sure if it's allready a designer engine right now
WP Tuned (Italy)
MR Tuned (Spain)
Maxy Modified (USA)

There could be others, but this is what I know so far, and all of them are very powerfull and competent engines which incorporate new lighter cranks, new carb, new conrod, new piston/ sleeve, and new head button...not sure thow on the Mega DSII or LRP...haven't seen their insides.
I Have the OFNA JRL and the Picco Edo and they rock at par with any top engine on the market today.

I agree with what you stated but I think I would put the IDM in both the "designer" and "modded" because some of the crank work is done by hand while the rest of the engine is manufactured to ID's specs.

Do you agree?
