"Best" and "cheapest" are two words that are not typically synonymous with one another.

Forget pauters. I have seen too many pics of busted pauters to have any confidence in them.

TedB has some great advice and it sounds like Oilvers should make your short list...

One bad tune or one bad choice of spark plug can easily break the best

Manley turbo tuffs. Made here in the USA, quality, and proven to take quite a beating.

Your title threw me though for a second and reminded me of something a member here used to tell everyone:

Pick two of the three:
Reliable Fast Cheap
