if your going to be racing up against the big boys i would say probably a hande engine with a big bore kit and the like, they are more reliable and pretty close to indestructible, you might need to find out what the restrictions are for your class as well,
the lifans are good too just not as strong in the gearbox, and dont generate as much power for the same cc's, jailing engines are good as well but suffer from the same problem, however you can build these engines into monsters, but it all comes down to $$$ and know how

He may be right but I wouldnt trust him. Get your advice from somebody who has some experince and has owned both Jap and China minibikes (echkay, hills plus a couple of others)
