opinions on 22re.com keith black engines?

searching didn't exactly turn up much. Was looking at http://www.22re.com/main/toy/kbhipro.htm and wondered what others thought about it. seems rather cheap for a "performance" engine, but what do I know...

thanks btw that's a really reasonable price for something reputable. I can't say I know or trust anyone local.

you can always find a better price, what you cant find is customer service before AND after the sale and a company that uses top-notch components!!!!

BTW, the KB has new head + components, fully re-built LB w/ the KB 9.7:1 pistons a RV2 (272) cam. Taiho bearings...........etc etc etc, Its not cheap @ 2400.00 but sure isnt a price inflation of some other stage 2, 3, 4 motors

I think the next one will be painted red, I have the green one now. I assume that the red paint will increase h.p. by atleast 3 or 4 horses!!!!!!!!

I bought a Street RV head from ENGNBLDR.COM and it was a beautiful thing. everything worked and performed as it should have. Until I bent the # 4 intake valve. Even though it was no fault of Engnbldr Todd sent me a valve and guide free of charge.

GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE I can't say anything bad about them.
