Looking for opinions

...on the newer GS engine (by SH) the R21PB. Thinking about buying one since my pockets arent deep enough right now to go out and get a p5 or something. There's not much out there in the way of user opinions.

How much are you looking to spend? What kind of performance are you looking for? Do you plan on racing or bashing? What vehicle is this going into?

vbgagnon...Im racing local clubs, and its going into a storm pro. I appreciate the suggestions but I am really looking for an account on this particular engine (GS R21PB). What company makes the B3 that 2 of you mentioned? $185 would be in my price range.

I'm just making an assumption here, the GS R21PB would be comparable to the xtm .21 pro, or sh .21. I'll get you some more info on that mill.

The engine I am talking about is a Collari WRXLC21B3. Its about $190 for a Italian .21. It has amazing fuel efficency and produces awesome power. I will be running it in my Hot Bodies LSP which should be on its way to me soo.

There is a member here, emu76 I think (something like that), that has a SH .21 Pro and is liking it.

I ended up buying a SH .21 pro (PT2004XB). The GS R21PB and XTM pro are essentially the same engine from the same casting but the 2004 SH pro apparently will slightly outperform the gs/xtm engines since {2004 sh 21 pro > 2002 sh 21 pro} and {GS/XTM = 2002 sh 21 pro} I think they are almost the same though. I'll post again with some thoughts after break-in.
