He's got a good motor. He hasn't said anything to make us believe he has a great motor. How many passes do you guys give him before we will be picking up scattered parts off the track? I liked both of your thinkings better, earlier. I dont know about Charlie but Mike, When was the last time You had a motor that would pull strong all the way to 8000 RPM. I doubt that I have ever had one and dont think he has one here either.If 73RS had a cam and a converter that would allow him to run strong from a much lower RPM through 6500 he would be much faster and and the engine would last much longer.
