I guess I didn’t realize you were building a 9 second track car. Therefore, I questioned why you would buy cams and such when the OEM motor is so stout. It’s a valid question given the frequency of 9 second cars in the Capital District…

You can use stock parts on a car car. I never heard of that rule.
