it power wheelies also when the 2nd kit comes one. not a huge turbo style power wheelie but it pulls them up. but we have the 2nd kit coming on in the ramp so it stays down a good bit

went number 9 with a 5.04@140.6 mph went 3 rounds till bob redlit.

Thats awesome, my buddy backed out last minute and i didnt feel up to a 4 hr drive solo so i didnt go to shakedown. The fact that it was mostly an 1/8th mile race didnt give me much more motivation to go either. Congrats to you guys, x275 has got to be one of the most competitive classes and to go 3 rounds is impressive.

Just out of curiosity, have you guys hurt any pistons with that setup? How much maintenence is required with that motor?

We've lost a piston skirt this season and we tore a set of rings up from losing a rocker. Other then that we do oil changes every other outing plugs every round ... nothing to crazy...

It's only an inch or two. What's the big deal?
