ive seen the car run it runs good . He weighs nothing lol if your wondering why its so fast and evedently he has his gearing like he likes it. it takes alot more then just power to make a car run great times at the track . Number one you got to either make a tone of power or not weigh shit lol or in his case a little of both anyway car runs nice times. When you say make power to 9,0000 do you mean peak power or hold power till 9,000 because our motor doesnt drop off for awhile but it peaks under 8,000 i think . Im guessing since your reving that high your running short gearing seeing that you can stretch the gear out . im pretty sure i got my trany set up like i like it just need to get this thing together. As i stated before were running ALOT more cubic inches then nemo was and probably you are so we have aloe more air to move which makes it more diffucult to make power at higher rpms but we wil see how my motor does it should be even more cubic inches but im running bigger cams and a bigger head so we will see were it peaks at. Im taking donations for my $760.00 rods lol just pm for details on were to send the money lmao. i also should have no problem getting my car to atleast 350 pounds lighter then my dads si hatch considering it has no weight reduction at all. We need to put out motor on your h2b setup in your light as hatch that would be a beast .
