Gary, Novarossi is a maker, Novamega is one of the engine line from Novarossi engines. and Novamax is a Novarossi base engine but it is a hand modified engine by Massimo Fantini. I think the correct name for Novamax is Max Power. some ppl call it novamax is because it is a nova base engine kind of like merge 2 words together.

Now RS12 and NS12, they are both Novarossi engines but the NS is a newer version and the RS is the older version.

I dont know much about the V12 engine but I have seen a few Rody X12 5 port died a few times, crank pin was wearing out to fast, less then 3~4 gallons. But the Rody X12 is very powerful on the bottom end and top end kind of like an on/off switch and it is very hard to control the power.

If $$ is not an object then I would suggest Max power, and if you are ok on $$ then I would suggest NSR series, NSR12 S3 or NSR12 S5 (depends on your club rules). And if you are on a tight budget then get the STS D5.

Hope that would help!
