I'll still take the OS any day of the week and have no problems paying for it. Like Frank said awhile ago, there's people that are looking for a bang for the buck deal and those of us that want the best. OS has been the standard by which all engines are compared for years and even to this day, in this very thread we are still comparing everything to the OS speed. Has to be a reason for that.
I won't try to say the OS isn't a great engine because they are. BUT... they are not the only engine manuf. that is looking for drive-ability. The RB's have been designed around making usable power for years. And if all engines are really compared to the OS engines why did OS jump ship on their short stroke design to follow suit of what almost ALL other companies have been doing for years now?
Again.. they are great engines but you have been brainwashed into thinking they are the best. I have RB's with 18 gallons on them (no pinch only bearings replaced) that still run great... anyone in here have an OS that has survived thru 4 or 5 race seasons and countless loaner weekends to people having bad luck?
