That would be correct . I am amazed also. The NHRA allowances really give this motor some help, not to mention the 2 1/2 inch exhaust system upgrade and with much better repro bias ply tires and a glued track they can lay down some fantastic times. Even with his motor being close to maxed out it was dyno'd with pump gas!
