Default The best 4 stroke

After running Saitos and TT's I say I'll spend a little extra on the Saito from now on. Chief aircraft has some good deals. www.chiefaircraft.com

I've seen people run Honda 4-bangers with the water jackets filled with metal to support the boost they were running. Gets hot quick, so it's only good for 1/4 stints. The Supra engine will put out 1200HP day in / day out on 3 liters and things in the engine don't break. That's impressive. The obvious problem then becomes the clutch and driveshaft - the tranny and rear-end can take it (also impressive). Clutches that can handle the torque are like light switches - not very streetable. So they put powerglide trannys in them. Next problem: keep the tires sticking to the pavement. Oh, well... Keep her under 7 hundred and she's more streetable. Getting sideways at 150mph is kinda scary.

cheers.
