It's only 200$ and if you were to take ninja's, vspec, plus 4 four and ran them side by side you would not tell the difference. It's a great engine and my buddy is getting 13+ minutes per tank. DOn't know how long they last or how hard they are to tune though. TYe alphas are screaming too, but i know little about them except they run really well.
Works is absolutely top-quality. Long life, relatively easy to tune, great power. (The B7 Pro I used to have was just plain STUPID fast!)
A little more pricey but the ninja has everything you could want in a motor long lasting, easy tune, powerful and killer mileage. But if i were you i would at least go to clockworks home page and see what might be best for you. The clocked jl is a monster and is only 250
Lots of good choices. One thing nobody has mentioned really is this:
1) If you are a relatively inexperienced driver... LESS power will make you faster. (sounds wrong but this is true.)
2) If you are a relatively inexperienced engine tuner... a less expensive engine means mistakes are cheaper. Just something to think about.
I wouldn't have a problem running any of the engines mentioned on here... none of them are "bad." Some are better than others...
