C3 880 bikeman or trygstad Etech 872

[skidoomutt]

I am looking at two full C3 carbon xp chassis one has a stock etech 2011 motor updates done, and one has a R 880 bikeman in it. The 880 is also new. Has anyone had any experiences with the BM 880? The sleds are very similarly priced so im figuring the one with the big bore is the better route. I had a turbo already and am looking forward to some all around performance.
I like the stock etech as well but i am sure stock power isnt going to cut it, so I would think a trygstad 872 would have to happen. Is there any real advantage to the etech over the r motor, other than fuel injection? I know the etech is fuel limited, so I would figure for a big bore the r would be better. I just dont want to get into a Bikeman kit if they are not reliable. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

Dont know anything about the 880, but very happy with the 872R.

I have over 4000 miles on an 880 and it runs as good now as when it was new, Love it and I try to sway everyone twards it because I have never been around a big bore that has lasted this long, EVER. And I dont get anything from Bikeman to say that either.

Mod700 on here has had a couple 880's. Both bulletproof motors with HUGE torque. If I buy a doo I'll be running a Bikeman kit after being towed out by his multiple times.

880

I've had the bikeman 880 for three years. I love it. They stand behind thier work.
