What engine, R1 or Blade?
Hello all, after going out in Hobzy's R1 powered Indy, I am looking to get a BEC myself, as I was very impressed!
Anyway, what engine os the better one, for the odd weekend blast and track days, R1 or Blade, as looking in te calssifieds there are a lot of each and
after a bit of guidance.
Many thanks
Lee

'Course you already know what I'd say 
Glad you liked it - apologies again for the moment - I must learn to modulate the brakes  Still used to ABS  It was the fact that she looked
straight at us and still went for it that got me.

True - to be fair, it a shame you couldn't have shot the crap out of her for not stopping at a checkpoint

in a car it doesn't make anywhere near the difference it does in a bike.. you need reliability firstly.. handling will get you far further on
track than engine anyway....
the R1 is very powerful and rev happy... blade is solid and VERY proven..
I'm slightly biased as i have a championship winning blade engined car for sale though 
one thing i can't recommend enough is the help/service & honesty of Andy at AB Performance whatever way you go.........

Personally, I think the Blade engines are great. Having said that, I also think R1 engines are great. Come to think of it, all bike engines around
900cc and upwards are great. Just get one. Doesn't really matter which one, cos none of them will disappoint you.........
