So would this be a good price on a Sirio Evo 2? My thoughts are that it would be a good engine for a NTc3? How would this compare to like a MT12? That price range is kinda what I am looking to stay. How does Reliablity and Holding a tune compare to the other brands?

Thanks

Jeff
I think it is an excelent price.... for an Evo2???. Out of the box both engines, the Evo2 is much more powerful in both low and top end.
Holding tune and sustaining temps is very good, no problems in that area. New carb is very good.
Reliability......I would suggest you change conrod inmediately after break-in process. I think that is the weak point......at least it was for me on my Evo2, which by the way was an early production batch from last year's end trimester. I understand that latest production Evo2's have more low end, and hopefully have addressed the issue of premature wearing of conrod......but
Anyway as i said earlier, it is a very powerful engine, which can hold at par with the latest Nova based engines.
Don't forget to get a good pipe for it. Sirio's own works good, also the Yokomo MMielke, which speedtech has, and lastly i'd try the new Rd Logics turbo II.
