Why change a good thing when its going good right now. Mini sprint car counts are way up since the uprights went to 1000 and got rid of the 600. All you guys have to do is your home work to go fast. Some of the people driving these mini sprint cant even work on them or tell the crew what the car is doing. These are not quarter midgets or karts. Races are won by work done in the shop and drivers knowledge of whats going on.

I can sure see a lot of room for improvement on that motor they got in the picture. No way they can get more Hp through that plastic intake and little biddy throttle body than a modern day 1000cc pocket rocket motor. The Tsunami as well as other classes switching to these motors has caused a spike in price of them. Nothing like a shortage to bring the cost of doing business up, weather it be oil, doctors or 1000cc motorcycle motors.

You could spend a ton of money on that Ford motor. But hot rodding a late model 1000cc cycle motor is like buying a brand new Indy car and motor and going home and taking the motor apart and trying to making it faster. It just ain't going to happen. Once you break the case on that motor it just is never as good as that bone stock motor, I know.
It just ain't going to happen.
