I'm sure this has been talked to death, forgive me. For a single engine/car team starting out that doesn't a have huge budget (but isn't shoestring either) does it make sense to dedicate a large chunk of upfront budget to a big name builder versus money spent elsewhere. Do you really get what you pay for? Those with a Gaerte, Ott, Shaver etc... Are you really satisfied with your dollars spent? Could that money have gone to a local builder, get a durable (albeit less hp) motor and spread the difference around? Thanks.
