    V-Drives are efficient enough to run with pretty mild HP right ?? If anything, us Jet guys need the extra ponies for our un-efficient jets!! Just wondering why you guys are so speed hungry.....that and I'm jealous you guys go so fast.

I like that "better hold on" rush of acceleration. But thats just me.

    The reason I am doing it, is so I can pull big ass gears and cruise at 60mph at 3000 rpm, or so... Not to mention they are the best mufflers made, and they look really cool...

    So the engine will idle like a kitten until you nail it.

    I have an engine with the " mufflers " for sale, as well as a brand new Gentry turbo kit (manifolds, intercooler, turbos and water cooled housings, and carb boxes)
    I may separate the engine if someone wants the turbo system off of it.

    This is why I have a v-drive
    Fast enough to push the skin back on the face of a very fit 9 year old with the throttle barely cracked.
    No Turbo, just a small blower.

    Some idiot did some poor planning and scheduled his wedding that weekend. So I guess I'm out.
