Thanks
I have seen a JP FX12 T03, probably the one with all the options(knowing how the driver of that car, he would run the best engine), it is unbeliverably fast! I would probably use the word Ballistic! and the engine is running cool, under 200F, top end of that beast is sick, insanely fast!

But everything has a price tag! just the matter if you can justify the cost vs performance!

Honest, in my opinion I wouldnt do it! (I have had some big ticket engines just to name a few, JP RX21WC R1, Novamax 21 and 12, RB and such but it is not easy to justify how much they are!

I believe the JP FX is like $469, that is even more then a 21 size engine! and now I am running Tawaness engines, STS, very good value more like 1/3 of the cost of a JP, but then the JP is not 3 times faster!

when it comes down to the bottomline, u just need to weight it!

again the JP FX is just sickly fast!

Just my $0.02
