Bet that car doesnt run any better than a mild properly set up turbo 301 & definitely nowhere near as good as some of the higher power 301t's being done today... yet after all the bragging he wont even take it to the track or actually have the engine dyno'd! LOL!
The only issue I see is unsuspecting hobbyists trying to replicate his "Max Efficiency" super tune...they then blow their head gaskets from the 58 deg of initial timing. It's actually already happened....SMFH
