I am trying to decide which 540 series to put in my S-1-11B project. I realise that this has been beat to death on this forum. With ECI's intoduction of aftermarket angle valve cylinders, I ask if this then puts more pressure on picking a K or L series. Pro's of the K , L that I have heard are of the greater power and reliability than the parrallel valves. But then there is the weight issue and whether the extra power available is worth the decrease in rotationability.
But then other people say that the parrallel valve is more reliable. I am looking for atleast 320 HP.


Here is a link to the new ECI cylinder:

Of course I have nothing to do with ECI, I'm canadian EH!Edited by: S111B
