If you can find someone that rebuilds the Qjets I really like them for the balance between mpg and power. If you cant find someone local or don't want to try it yourself then summit racing carries a rebuilt one for $240 basically.

Thanks for that advice. I know I can rebuild it if I just take my time. I was wondering if it was worth it. I'm needing a little higher gearing but that's not on the agenda for this year so I have some time to think.
