Those "Claws" and "Demons" are the worst ever. Whenever anyone gets one to 
run on the dyno, they never work out...Never work at all....There are always 
a lot of defects or something wrong with them. They NEVER idle..They burn 
your eyes at idle, nothing but problems. They are great looking pieces, and a 
great concept, but I haven't seen one work out of the box yet. (Out of about 
25)

Stick with the C & S and you will not go wrong...They are happy to help you.
