I'm very happy with my FMS 392 crate! It has over 10,000 miles, many auto-crosses and some track time. The rev limit is set at 6000 rpm and it gets fresh
oil once a year.
For $6500....it has been an unbeatable value. Like the energizer bunny.....
Consider your budget.....how much does a custom built motor cost. When I looked 3 years ago, they seemed to be about $12,000-$15,000...which was way out of my budget.
Where are the 20% failures? So far, no one has posted with an actual failure....what broke, how did it break? How much did it cost to fix it?
For me....I would hesitate to buy another one....it has been everything I wanted and it left a cool $8000 in my pocket.
Good luck and have fun with your new car!!
