I wish it were possible to have a blind taste test with all these engines........ everyone has their preferred brand name but I really wonder if that would be the engine they actually preferred in a blind test drive...It would be neat to be able to have people test all the good engines without knowing what they were actually driving, then grade them on paper on the likes and dislikes......

Great idea, and I can easily see this happening. Great magazine article idea

I really appreciate your perspective, Neil. Very open-minded and as unbiased as you could possibly be, given your kind of experience. For me, it inspires great confidence in the things you say about any engine. Good stuff man!

Sorry i don't buy it. I don't see a single go engine listed on your website. Maybe i'm missing something, but its fairly obvious that you'd rather push other engines to allow your modding and reconditioning services to flourish. I even did a search on your website and didn't even find a single post about go engines.

A search for go tech turned up even fewer results and was the same as the first result shown when searching go engine.

Here is a CLOCKED Go for ya

clocked go 7 port

Neal posted a page back his thoughts about GO.

I seen 3-4 GO engines down here 5 and 7 ports all of them had problems.

Neal likes the brands he likes for a reason. They hold up well and perform great.

Oh i don't doubt he's modded a few go engines. That wasn't my point. My point is he states he is a go engine reseller in order to build credibility about his statement. I would like to see more usa go engine dealers to be honest, i love the engines and would like more than a couple places to get them.

The video shows how much of a handful they can be in a buggy. Nice powerful engines at a reasonable price, can't ask for much more. I'm not trying to be some sort of go engine salesman, i just like them and don't think they get the credit they deserve.

No one speaks gospel here bro. Cut people a little slack. This place is full of experiences, opinions, and information. Do with it whatever you feel. That's why I said what I said, the way I said it. Sorry for the trouble fellas.

Had this happen on one of my Go .25 6 ports. But the motor had its share of fuel pumper threw it.

What kind of problems? And please don't just regurgitate what neil said as that won't fly.

Oh no don't get me wrong, i'm not jumping down anyones throat. Its just a debate I'm abit bored at the moment and don't mind the back and forth banter to pass the time. I've yet to run across a bad go engine, a part here and there can go wrong with any engine on the market. Heavens know how many posts we've seen about werks, os, ninjas, and etc with various issues here and there. But i'll stand behind my original comment. Personally for the money and power they are hard to beat and until someone else steps up to the plate and delivers the same value or better i'll stand behind them.

I've bought used engines in the past that were problematic for others and it normally boils down to bad tuning or something else overlooked that can be easily fixed. The fact is alot of people who know very little about nitros end up with them in their possession and get frustrated really quickly as they realize they might be in over their heads. That alone i contribute to alot of the problems people report about various engines.

You said you never heard a complaint against GO....I had some legitimate complaints and I posted them.... truth be told I have had complaints about almost every engine brand, as no engine is perfect...

I don't have Go in my current inventory for several reasons, tho I am a legitimate dealer...I wouldn't lie about something like that FYI...... Main reason is the pricing..what I pay from the Canadian Distributor(who is an awesome guy BTW.) puts me out of range to compete with the people selling stock Go's online and in the US, the Canadian dealer pricing is quite high, and the engines are available retail online for pennies more...So it is not feasible for me to carry them..too many other sources dumping them at very low prices... I just cannot compete in the Go market.... And as a base for modifying I have better options for the dollar IMO...Jammin and Werk's ...Billet pistons, better tolerance in the Sleeve/piston, harder crankshafts, Swiss bearings, Italian build..........As i say I have had great results with the Go engines, my modified versions run like raped Apes, however the pricing on the Go puts them against some pretty stiff competition....

None of them were mine just what I saw from race days.

They never held a tune, and I never saw one perform even like an average motor, but this could be due to many variables. All I can say is GO has not showed me anything to like so far.

I do like how they come with an extra con rod but that just makes you wonder why.

For the price Werks motors I'd rather go for that, not just because the price but because Ron's customer support is amazing. He posts on the forum quite frequently and on top of that you can call him!

So what exactly don't you buy JWM2?
I own one of the first GO engines that Neal ever
Clocked. It is about four years old now and has
had at least a dozen gallons of fuel ran through it.
It is still one bad arsed screamin engine and will
still eat a Toro Nero for lunch.
I agree with Neal, there is NO BEST ENGINE. The track
you run on, your driving style, your clutch, gearing and
tire set-ups and other factors will determine the best
engine/pipe combo for you. That is why I keep over a
a dozen different engines and at least that many pipe
and header combos. Rather than rely on what someone
posts is the best header/pipe combo for an engne, I actualy
take the time to find out for myself. Instead of doing the hands
on research to find the ideal engine, people would rather let
someone else make their descisions for them. The same people
that start this kind of thread are the same ones that will want
to know the majic number of turns on them there carbrater screws
next week.
