Absolutley. There is always a flavor of the month.

I think what you said about the mugen (ninja) motors is very accurate. I think you will satrt to see alot of good feedback and reports on how they perform well on the race track.

I dont think people should run out and buy another motor becuase they have the money or its because someone said to. If your serious about racing and have the money you would do so anyways, and choose the motor that fits your needs. We all fall victim to he said she said. The k4.6 is a great motor that puts out some good power. I still have mine to this day as a back up back up,but wouldnt be afraid to run it in pro series race. Im a OS fan and will be for life especically since JP is modding them now. I dont think buying the mod version over the standard turbo version is worth it,becuase I cant see it putting out very much more power than it does already. Add in some ceramic crank bearings and maybe have it hard coated and your set. I have not the first sign of scratching on my back plate. Its putting up good numbers and I have larned its personality.
