Bronze Member Username: Jr96ejLas Vegas, NV Post Number: 30 Registered: Feb-09 | Hmm sounds pretty decent they have one that reaches 250 at 1200 rpm and does 125 at idle. Anyone have any feedback about this company? I've never really heard much about them here before, always mechman , dc and ohio gen. If you guys think they are worth it ill get the db its only $270. |
