Default Team Orion Maxx21,Good or Not?

I was wondering if the .21 Orion engine is worth the 239.00 bucks
I know most of theirr engines are pretty good,but I dont know about the whole "Big Block,in the Small case" deal...
I was just wanting the opinion of some people that have bought it or seen it run,so they can give me and idea how well it performs

I guess my biggest question is wether Im going to be dissapointed with it over the stock 2.5,or will it be much faster ,or should I just spend the extra 230ish bucks for the big-block chassis coversion and get the new .28

And yes I know that there is no replacement for dissplacement,but Im hopeing for a good drop in without the chassis conversion deal if it's worth it.....

Orion, Werks, Ofna-all three P2's are the same(other than head color). $239. is overpriced as they can be had for under $200. Good motor when its tuned(sometimes hard to tune). And the front bearing has been known to go bad & cause airleaks. If you get a good one and can tune it, the P2 hauls A.
Hint: Tune rich.
With almost 2 gallons on mine, it is ballistic.
Get rear cvd's & build your rear diff and go!

Edit: It seems the problems have been with the Ofna/Picco P2. I haven't heard about the other two.
