Moving on to the engines, first let me say that I'm flattered by the amount of people that have posted on here about the positive results that they have had with our motors, thank you! It is nice to see so much positive feedback from so many as the vast majority of you I have no idea who they are nor are the majority of them guys sponsored by me (so these are for the most part just regular people talking)!

There seems to be a lot of people questioning how a $200 engine can compare to some of the higher cost engine in performance. Frankly it's because the B5 and B6 are not $200 engines, they are motors that should be selling in the mid $300's. They have all of the performance, quality of materials and components just like any Italian made racing engine. The simple fact of the matter is that as I noticed the economy start to decline I took some aggressive moves to reduce the overhead of my business (which means that I can afford to make less because I spend less) . At the same time I noticed the negative side effects that some of the lower dollar engines that were on the market were having on users and simply decided to take a gamble and do something revolutionary. Make a good quality and performing product in Italy and price it at a affordable price point so that everyone can afford it without bending over backwards lol. Frankly it's not rocket science, it's simple economics on how these engines are possible.

For those questioning the ability of these engines to perform on the level of Speeds etc. let me remind you that Kortz ran a box stock production B6 at the Nats and led about 10 minutes of his 30 minute semi-final with it ending up 2nd right behind Drake. This was a semi that had Mayfield, Drake, Phend and a lot of the other fast guys in it so there were some speed's in there and needless to say if our little $220 engine was slow they would have ran Kortz over in 20 seconds flat which obviously did not happen. He went on to take 7th with it in the finals which was more the results of an incorrect tire choice but that's racing. So for all of the nay sayer's I'm not sure what better venue to prove that capabilities of our engines than the US Nats? We are simply leading the pack when it comes to affordable engines, in fact I was recently speaking to one of the magazine guys who's review on the B6 will be in print shortly and when asked what he thought about it his response was "In my opinion the B6 basically sets the bar from a price/performance stand point against which all other engines should be judged".

The bottom line though is that the right engine for any person is the one that suits their driving style best. There is no way that anyone can tell some one what they should or should not be running, it's all going to boil down to personal preference. Rest assured though that there are very few "bad" engines on the market nowadays so whatever decision a person makes they will more than likely end up with a great engine which ever brand it might be!
