The engine easily turns 7000 in 1st & 2nd , not so in 3 &4 , thats why turbo and fuel injection .. First race meet is June 9 at El Mirage Dry Lake , north of Los Angeles , California .. A 1 mile run for top speed with shut down distance .. I take engine apart every year to check everything and upgrade . . This year it was better locating crank and bearings , 2 studs from bottom of crankcase to bottom of block on valve side , upgrade block studs , solid metal block to case gasket / spacer , mill head to dead flat ,.008 .. And all this turbo/fuel injection , intercooler , water tank in back , bigger ECU , more wiring , a lap top for tuning , new paint !! Nothing particular on run in , the tuning and short spurts on a street . The rings and bearings have been there awhile .. STEVE
