I have had good service from my Powermaster XS Torque (200 ft-lbs. torque, and only weighs 8 1/2 lbs.)......4 years so far OK.....plenty of room for headers (got Hooker Super Comps, no heat problems), easily turns over the highest compression engines, and if they they ever need it, the solenoid repair kit is available for about $20.00.
