who has a backup motor?

Are you saying horsepower is easy? haha

WTF it made that much HP without a Jay Allen cam? Who would have thunk it possible?

Dyno operator felt the carb might be too big, we pulled the 700 dollar QF off, stuck a 1400 dollar Braswell on in its place..............less than 2 hp difference............

M5 was worth 25 hp, the stuff is the real deal.............

Don't worry when that motor gives in it will die with a whimper and not a bang most likely.

We're heading to Tulsa in a few weeks to try and set a class record. You going to head up? Probably going to hit the last TV race to set the record there too. Come on out.
