Thanks Dave,

I don't think you will mind if i throw this back out on the
forum.

I read in an old POCA profiles that two ways of telling if
you have enough horsepower are:

1.    The engine shop says we've done all we can.  We can't
spend anymore of your money.

2.    You can answer all those pesky questions about the
speed of light.

Your hometown NASCAR engines might fit both!!!

>I can assume that these engines would run a standard 500
mile race.  If you had the compression bumped back a little
and keep the rpm down below 8500 then the life would be
better.  The engines run on race gas and cost $35,000.  They
are pure race.
