looking for a new engine, need some advice
im looking for a new .21 engine. ive narrowed it down to some choices, and ive read some good things and some bad things about them. i would like to see what you guys think, and wich one would be the best for the price? i was looking at the o.s .21 v-spec,the jammin jpx .21, Go Technology .21 5 Port ;or 7 port? the o.s is the most expensive out of all of those, and money is kind of a issue, so im lookin for something that will last a little while and get the money's worth. anyway, wich do u guys think? if theere is a diff engine plz name it.

Get the GO 7 port, that engine with the right pipe has some insane top end. Also i might look at the axe rossi mamba, i thinks it is 230, but it is also screamer, i would buy one of those. They cannot be beat for the price.

the JPX is faster and more durable then all of them...tho to some the JPX may be a little tricky to tune........ JPX 21 will outgun and outlast a GO 7 port

I think the Go engines are great, especially for the money.

RE: looking for a new engine, need some advice
I havn't heard one bad thing about the V-spec. If you're into quality over performance, but still budget minded, look into the lower end Novarossi's and RB's. These will give you decent performance, but the real reason I reccommend these is that they are going to be reliable and long lasting. The cheaper engines like GO and STS may be fast, but they are more likely to have problems. Then again,
you can't go wrong with the v-spec if you can afford it. From what I understand, the performance is superb, and it's long-lasting and easy to tune.
