If I want to get serious down the road, I'll throw some Holleys on it and more compression.
The original design intent of this was to make a conservative 875. Getting into the motor, there were many issues(Larry ran it hard for years) and just about everything got touched to some degree. Yeah, the sum of the parts are more oriented toward a higher end goal but I was able to pick up a lot of these parts reasonable from fellow racers and it could be considered over engineered for the build. As Mike mentioned above, I'm more into having fun than making a huge number. It's in the car and I'm working to get a few other things wrapped up on it. We'll see how it goes down the track.

good for you. If your happy thats all that matters. I was not slamming your motor, just other a-holes that make it look that way.
