Brian,

when you start buying the Italian exotics (Rossi, NR and OPS) or YS engines, then you are into that sort of territory. How does 4 big bills for a RE OPS sound to you? Or almost 5 for a Jett 90? OS's are actually reasonably priced for their manufacturing and performance quality. The day you pick up an SF-P or an RF Hanno, you might change your mind (the carbs alone are a nice piece of engineering)..., you might just say, well, that was a workout... [8D]

Rossi's are all around beautiful brutes. They remind me of Lamborghini's, brawn, muscle and beauty in the eye of the beholder.

If you decide one day that the TST is not quite what you want on the Escape I recommend either one of the two below. The Nova or new YS short stroke would also be nice but more expensive alternatives.

Congrats on your well executed SK!

David
