With the C.N.C. ported head , aftermarket cams, rods,pistons,Ti valves, big springs crankshaft,Darton sleeves dry sump and all the other goodies where is he ahead?
Like I have said before how do we as a racing group that has the passion with all of are heart and soul about midget racing get the cost under control??

I think the key word you used is Kid , You & I were once Kids & I do not know about you , but I did a lot of dumb things when I was a Kid , Does his eng have EFI on it ? I may have a idea or two up my sleeve to make it work or I could be out in left field , the SoCal Drag race crowd are putting less than 10K in 600 + HP HonDoo engines , I think it is very possible to Make the HonDoo or other production engines work @ much less cost & be competitive with current equipment , that may precipitate a transition to a further opportunities to reduce costs down the line , if it is not tried we will never know !
