Yah, John knows what he's doing, giving a master tech advice who has written books on how to do this stuff is just stupid. John is a light in the world of "never share secrets"in machining. John, thanks for teaching me so much; from the bottom of my heart I appreciate the knowledge, friend.

@carmisti - Thanks for the kind words. I think I wouold rather bend a few valves then break a crankshaft. I set the spring rate for about 8500 rpm. For this stroker engine anything over 8000 is there just for vanity and bragging rights. Still, this car is a kick in the ass to drive as hard as I do. Go fast or be last!

dam driving threw cones would drive me nuts!

@fredtflail - The problem is my right foot and the loose nut behind the wheel, and I need to get a rev limiter installed.

[mynameis63]

you guys giving this driver mechanical advice is...well..look at his channel. He's a master machinist.

@petarfico

Sounds like a problem.

[pantherxx010]

ouch that stink getting bent valves. do you have RPM gauge?

[insAneTunA]

looks pretty difficult, great video. I like the car as well, seems like it has enough power :-)

[petarfico]

Bent valves again.Try to replace the valve springs.My abarth revs at 9000 without any problems except that the crankshaft broke.
