Question well i have reached a fork in the road....

now that the automatic n/a is too slow for me, i have decided to go with somehthing more powerful. An seeing that I am a poor bastard, i wanted to get a 13b rew becuase of the better design. But on reTED's site, he was saying that he would prefer the Cosmo 13B instead. But i really dont see why other than they make mounts for it. Is there that much of a difference? I need some clarification so i know where my $$ can start to go to.

Yes the 13B RE is a much better choice, using a 13BREW is barely any more HP, and quite a bit more fabrication. The 13BRE is pretty much bolt in, while the Brew requires custom motor mounts, along with all sorts of other relocation or modification issues.

what part of Ted's site did you not understand??

when my current motor goes I am swapping into a RE and when and if that goes I am going 3 rotor. All this is subject to change if some how a 3 rotor falls into my grasp.

This is what I would do. Buy the RE. Have BDC do the half bridge porting on the motor. Then send it to Kevin Landers for a complete rebuild and spare no costs. Strap a Garrett GT42R turbo on the bitch Breakin+tune=one bad FC
And if you get you *** handed to you with this setup buy a top fuel dragster
