You should notice a bit more power over a piston port engine. (Depending on how it was ported) longevity is t really a factor. It's more or less the same engine, just different induction system. So if the builder did their part right, and you do your part right they should last the same. If your rules allow it, I would reccomend a reed engine, but there are several very stout piston ported options as well.

From my expirience reed engines have about 20-30 % more power ( as Sean said it depends on the builder ) they also have more power in the lower RPM;s and the power band is smoother so it is more controllable. I could be wrong also so ????

Bought a roller 5ive 1.0
It had a obr 34 ss in it. I don't need a 800.00 motor for weekend racing. Was looking at the esp 34cc. From ddm. Any thoughts??

Holdup, you took the 34ss out? I'm sure the esp34 weighs near same if not a bit more.
