My car isn't going to be as fast as most cars with this amount of effort.
I'm hopeing it runs mid 10s. Low 10s once I dial it in.

I want to do a cam change and a few other things to that motor before I run it again. It has the potential of making 300hp all motor."When your only tool is a hammer, everything looks like a nail"
