[QUOTE="Ryno, post: 15040, member: 228"] Jerry- I agree with what you are saying, but with the dollar amount, you're going to have people doing cash jobs, and a little tweaking here, a little tweaking there. I agree that the less you can spend on a motor, the less you will in turn have to spend on other driveline goodies, like that 10k transmission that keeps blowing up, or a 3k rearend. There is no easy way to get everyone honest, and no easy way to regulate motor size, when the truly know, means taking off the heads, measuring the bores, etc. I think the dyno thing is better. I think 7s should be limited to 300hp. 7 open maybe 425, 450. I don't know what they are pushing now, a decently built 4.3 Chevy will easily do 300hp. You can do that for about 3-4k. I think a nicely built Ford 3.0 or 4.0 will do about the same. Pay for the dyno by entry fees being $50 more each race. Nothing big, but alot of $$$ if you think about it. You can get a portable dyno for 7-10k, and regulate. I know it sounds like alot of work, this is my best idea yet. The less $$$ you can spend, the better racing will be, and the more guys will be out there. Ryno Build it like a Rhino, and Leave it be. [/QUOTE]
