IDK. I had a built 700 in that car with this motor. But as soon as i swapped out to a stronger motor. @ weeks later i bhlew the 700. Its kinda risky. I wouldnt do it.

Wouldn't expect that car to move like that. Nice ride.

I'm surprised they let you run with the hubcaps on. Out here, you usually have to remove them. Nice launch and a helluva run.
