I would think with the stuff he has in place already you could make this car competitive for a lot less than 10k.

Give Allen Sherman a call at Trumble Racing. He can get that motor freshened up and competitive.

Thanks guys I appreciate the input.

Hidalgo, I will give him a call and see what he says.

If the motor that comes with it is capable of running 11.30 - 11.50 in the heat I would be good with that for now.

I ran one of these cars for several years. The 305's don't like hot weather, I would count on spending the 10k on the motor to run those et's.

Your car runs good everywhere! What I meant by that was that the smaller ci motors fall off a little bit more in the heat than bigger ci motors.
