I guess I should not have called him a kid he's late 30's early 40's and yes he has EFI injection on it. I would say to get 600+ horsepower it's not naturally aspirated and I haven't seen any dirt track midget organizations that allow turbos or superchargers.
The point I was trying to make was that when the professional engine builders get involved the cost of engines go through the roof.
