OK, here's a brain tickler for you lot.
Until recently, I was going to graft an Imola kit onto my SX, until I realised that AF do an RB20 kit (yeah, I know, bit slow).
Is anyone out there running one and how do they compare to the Imola?
Grazie mille.

IMO the Imola is tried and tested. let someone else do the testing of the RB then after a season sell your Imola if it turns out that the RB is better. I have seen the RB close up and they do look good, But the Imola is known to work well.....

Wise words as ever Dan
From what Al Diablo was saying the new Imola is SWEET! But the RB also looks PUCKA!!
The Imola has been improved lately with a new piston and head, pesumably very well thought out by Mr Edmunds.
I reckon they'll be there or there abouts re. power. I think Al was claiming 20+ from the Imola........RB20 is gonna be the same........but the RB does have the transfer feeds
So take ya pick I don't think you'll be dissapointed with either
Having only heard of the smallblock RB I would have picked the Imola anyday.......now its out and seen it, I'm not so sure
