we are still undecided on the motor..its gonna be a BBC just dont know how big yet.i have a .30 over 454 now..but would like a little bigger,so i dont have to build another one next year.and heck i will be short shifting him and throttle stoping him anyway for some time..till he gets a good feel for it.we can rent the track at MoKan for about 350.00 for 4 hours.i think its around that price,and i think that would be the best thing to do,then we will not be tying up a test and tune night for everybody else.then when he forgets to hold in the burn out button nobody will see me scream at him..LOL
