Got straights and aren't concerned about fuel mileage:
Novarossi Toro nero- 350
RB WS9- 350

My top picks in order. The +4 rocks as a race engine.

I'm biased against Werks, Trinity, Reedy, Orion, GRP etc. They just seem like flavors of the week and I've Never seen anyone really do well with any of the engines you mentioned other than the +4.

I stick with RB, Novarossi, and higher end OS's (like the Jx21 )
I have seen people do pretty good with the REEDY, but when it comes to engines - Im OS to the core - Love the Vspec and have never been beaten, lapped or could not make a jump because lack of power. I like the old school fav - RB - NOVA - OS. they know engines
