Has anyone had any experience with this company? More specifically, has any had a motor built by them, or had porting done by this company? How did it turn out, and is it reliable, or not?

I think FTZ is overrated. I have there carbs and igniton on my banshee. The carbs are good and the ignition is ok. I know there 250R's are fast, as I have seen them first hand. I have yet to see a banshee they have built though. If you find something out let me know.

I know several people that swear by FTZ...I don't have a motor built by them but they have been more than helpful over the phone with some questions I had with one of their cr cylinder swap kits for the trx250r

I had them do the cylinder on my '85 ATC 250r and it is great, plenty of midrange and top end too. I've only rode it on the ice put it pulled the highest gears I could put on it in 6th without trouble. I can't honestly say I am very happy with the job they did and the cool head I installed from them.

I'm sorry Dill, I meant to say "I can honestly say I am very happy with them.".

Does anyone have one of their cylinders on their Quad? And if so, which one? And how does it work, was it worth the money?

They are very fast. I may actually be selling a fresh FTZ 250R engine including the carb, pipe and everything, because I don't have the need for an extra engine while I'm in school. But yes, to answer your question, they are fast...
