Eds engine design was to drive this engine on the street. This is the maximum spring pressure Tony will do for any engine going for any trips on the street.

If making this a dediicated race car, we might have done things a bit differently and all mostly in the valve train. Same as my street engine on High Performance Pontiac. I think my street engine with just springs could make upwards of 900HP.
