However have to consider the fact that if your looking for a modified engine from me then the B5 and B6 are going to be tough to beat....I have nearly a year of R+D into the engines, many hours on both the track and the dyno..... I would like to think I have both the B5 and B6 dialed ! They have also proven themselves to be very reliable, good on fuel and extremely fast.... The new Orion is built at the same factory, but I am not sure if it has the features the B5 does... The more expensive Orions do have some trick features, but I am not sure how much that carries over into the budget version of the engine....In the price range the B5/B6 is going to be tough to beat IMHO...I can understand someone wanting something else just to be different, but if your looking for straight out performance then the choice should be the Mod B5/B6.....Tho I am willing to mod any quality engine, so its all good no matter what anyone chooses
