pay the 500 and take a chance or pay double for piece of mind. hard decision. i mean the first did last over 100k. my cash flow would prolly dictate my decision.

I build my own race units, I buy wholesale, and the parts ticket (minus convertor) runs 600-700 depending on condition of drum and year of unit (older needs more update). U would spend at least 100.00 on a "banner" kit for basic 300hp re-build.
I tell people all the time, "I will put it together for 500, how much the parts bill is depends on if u want it to last and hold the power". I was impressed when I learned FLT has a "freshen-up" program. I do this for all of my people but it is generally unheard of in this industry. If I were u, I would consider 1 of their units for this reason alone. If they do everything they claim, u will be fine

And then some! Thanks for the plug. Vince
