A nearby friend had the GoWesty engine put in; drove it out to CA where
he bought their transmission. When he returned home to Missouri after
his travels through Canada, he let me take it for a spin. I gotta tell
you - the extra horsepower was S-W-E-E-T and it was actually "peppy."  I
was convinced if/when I have to replace my engine, GoWesty's commitment
(read about how they redo the heads
http://www.gowesty.com/cylinderhead.html ) to increase in power (my
friend bought the 105hp upgrade so as not to need premium gas) and a 4
YEAR WARRANTY ( http://www.gowesty.com/enginewarranty_070105.html ) vs.
a 90 day warranty, it would be worth it.
