His Shop,( Barnes & Reese Racing Engines) is very busy till after the NASCAR season ends. I'll see what I can come up with. He works on his friends stuff after the shop closes for the day.
That dry sump trick sounds like something Smokey Yunic would have done. My friend just gets caught having .15 point too high a comp ratio.

Yea Smokey could come up with some stuff. thats just interpreting the rules

I like the one they caught the guy with the hollow carb studs to get more air in the motor . that was pretty cool.

My friend says his motors will do it for over 500 miles continuously and he dosen't brag. He just says he has already made most of the mistakes and learned from them.

I can tell you from experience, at 3500 RPM's, your bucking a Busch car out of the pit

I don't figure a tricked out custom Bravo 1 would live very long with the idle speed necessary for these engines.
