40	Comments	This engine was easy as pie to build. I threw in all of my "speed secrets" I've learned over the years and it absolutely rips. I get nailed to my seat. It pulls from idle all the way to 8,000rpms so easily and fast. I have a lot of kills with this engine. Haven't lost on the street yet! It is very good for daily driving aside from the race gas. It never gets too hot, it starts every time and I never had a problem with it. It has power throughout the entire rev range, it does not hesitate, bog, or make you feel uncomfortable, except when you hit the go pedal!
