    I haven't tried this motor out yet. I am waiting on open house at the Rockingham N.C. drag strip. They have a car show once a year and you get to run them through the 1/4 to see how you do. Last year I ran 135 through the 1/4 mile. It's a mean machine to hold . It has more goodies and I can feel the POWER............
