Yeah that is what it amounts to... only we are going to relax a bit... With
This one it should be a little more fun.... there isn't as much Pressure to
think it will set a record.... We really can't Pitch Much Nitrous at the
Bottom end.... So we will most likely limit ourselves to a 200hp shot....
and the cam in this Motor is really a Gas Cam so it may run Great on the
Motor.... looking forward to seeing how it does on the Dyno Wed I think...
Maybe later Who know's...
