im wanting to buy a brand new built clone ready to race in a clone medium class
Their version of "Spirit and Intent" is different too....I bet!Best Clone Engines was Patented 8 years ago by Jamie Webb
The LEGAL engine is no better than the tires you have on... Thats why the boys in the southeast don't conplain about engine prices,, their tire bill is normally 4-5 times that..

Find a local builder, the trackside support you get from a local builder will beat the bragging rights you get by having a big name builders sticker on your engine. I know id much rather have support at the track or anytime i need it than have maybe an extra tenth of a hp, if even that much. If they are built to the specs and are legal, they will all be putting out close to the same power, withing a tenth or 2 anyways. You arent going to see one builder putting out engines that are half a hp or more better than the rest, not legal ones anyways.
I like Screamin Clones's idea, have a competition at one of the shows for all the engine builders to compete to see who has the best engines, and post the results on here for newbies to see so we dont have this question popping up once a week.
There's always risk in doing business! If the BIG builder's are too 'vain' to display their goods under equal conditions, then maybe that's saying 'something'. But, you have to admit, something like this could give the 'Little-Guy's' a shot in the arm!! 'Cost' doesn't need to be an excuse for No-show either because 'any' builder could simply enter/ship their 'product and the 'dyno' person(s) would be making the 'pulls'. Motor builders (includes me) would be sweating it out and the racer spectators would be having a BLAST!Engine builder competition will never happen. The biggest names have way too much at stake to risk losing a dyno competition.
If the builders know whats going to happen, they would hand pick and massage the engine, that will not be the engine that someone would order and get, so the dyno race would be null and voidThere's always risk in doing business!

I dis-agree.....all parties get the opportunity too offer their Best 'product' and play by the same rules! As stated above, the Top-5 (tbd) would be subjected too 'full-tech' inspection. Take it a step futher and one of the stipulations could be that all 'legal' engines 'could' be Actioned to the highest bidders after at end of the 'show'...!If the builders know whats going to happen, they would hand pick and massage the engine, that will not be the engine that someone would order and get, so the dyno race would be null and void
