If you would read his entire post he stated that he searched and he was not satisfied with the results.

Hands down you should go with the H22. It has more Hp and more Tq than the gsr right out of the box The H22 also costs less, even if you include the mounts and you build your own axels. You will not be disappointed.

Of course he'll never be satisfied because he doens't know what answers he's looking for. B sereis guys swear by that swap as do the H guys. It's a matter of personal preference. So it's actually pointless to debate this topic. There are benifits to either swap. Go with the one that fits your budget and mechanical ability.

And this is way after owning both, I'm sticking with my H. A good friend of mine has had both and he is sticking to his B series. It's just a matter of preference. I personally think all B series guys wear pink shirts with their collars up and paint their finger nails, but that's just my opinion.
