Out of the 3 you listed the OS V Spec! Has a whole lot more top end then the N21B 2001BF I do believe.

You obviously have a good budget to play with, [link=http://rc-mushroom.com/product_info.php?cPath=169&products_id=12378]so just get the best V-Spec available.[/link]

I have been hearing really good things about these Go-Tech engines. they make 3 port 5 port and 7 port. I hear people comparing them to novarossi and they are considerably less expensive. I know a-main carries them carolinasrc, and rccompound also carry them.

Well I went the AXE Rossi Mamba route, but I don't think its necessarily better than the others. Then again you can get it for $200 and will hang with most of the engines you mentioned.

The mamba is a great engine. Normal plug so you can save a few bucks on plugs. My mamba hit gallon 3 and still running strong. Rossi makes a turbo button if you want to go the turbo plug route.
