which engine is the best engine for little money, fast, durable?

Bosch, Aeromotive, Supra MKIV TT would probably be my top 3 choices. I don't have a problem with Walbro, they can just be a bit loud and the concern regarding getting a genuine unit exists. It's not individual shops who do the counterfeiting, it's further down the supply chain so they may not even know.

Also, remember some of them (the knock-offs) flow fine and some live long, healthy lives, I'm just warning you to be careful because of their significant failure rate. Really, if they were just as good and reliable I don't think it would have caused nearly as much of a stir. I don't know how many there are still floating out there as this is a story which broke quite some time ago, but as long as there are suckers out there looking to be suckered I'd bet there are still a decent number getting filtered into the retail market.
