Just completed reading a lot of information regarding RABY engines.

All of the information points from the Mild to Wild they produce a Quality and Bulletproof product.

Does anyone out there on the "World" have first hand knowledge or experience with a RABY engine? Is the higher than normal acquisition cost worth the performance, reliability and drivability characteristics claimed by the Manufacturer.

Also seems to be a quite lengthy wait time associated between the ordering of an engine and its delivery.

Any information would be great

Thank you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)
