I raced him in that car back in 2002. It seemed pretty streetable to me. At 75 HP nitrous shot he just caught me at the 1/4 mile in my '64 Dart...

The first iteration of that engine ran well, it had a big valve, cast iron head and 9.2 compression.

When the engine was "re-done" using an aluminum head, it lost some valve size and compression... that slowed it down some.
