Default best 50 size engine for 3D?

Webra 50, MVVS 49, Irvine, or anything else you can suggest. The Jet engines are too expensive, the Magnum 52 has poor throttle response unless you get a new carb and exhaust. Where do you get the Irvine in the US?

Sig used to have Irvine and the 53 rocks.

West 50T1 is a pure 3D motor, however pricey.

OS 50 with a Nelson or Jett pipe is a great combo, too.

Golden State RC has them listed on their website, but I know nothing about this company.

Just Engines in the UK will ship to the US.

I have used Irvine .53s and they are powerful, have good throttle response and are cheaper than OS (last time I checked), great engines and I would recommend them.

The other engine I have tried is the J'EN .56 from Just Engines. This engine is America is sold under the tigershark brand in the USA (I think) and so far its a very torquey engine! ALOT less money than some other highly priced engines but just as good so far.
