I was lurking around today for some piston/Cylinder kits and came across these and wanted to know if they were good for a "Street Performance" engine. I do know that these are less expensive then the Nickeys. But still could be a good product.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.europeanmotorworks.com-9771-1322628561.1.jpg) 103mm Aluminum Alloy, NiCaSil-coated cylinder From European Motorworks $735.00 And then came across these from AA. And was wondering if these are better then the stock cast iron type?

Thanx, Dave |

I don't get how a 13-15.5 month backlog is viewed as positive. I would love an engine from you Jake but it's completely out of my price range which I'm sure put me outside your demographic in marketing. If i did decide to come off my savings account to the tune of 13k for a good turnkey motor, I would not be pleased about waiting a year and a half for a company to deliver on it when I paid top dollar. I understand the careful selection of parts and endless qc and testing. It just seems a bit excessive to toss in as bragging rights.
