Well, thanks for the dream of what SHOULD be under the hood!
I try to deny it every race, but when i look at my car closely on grid, I still see a street car with a set of headers and a bunch of stickers! So, in the end, you are actually right. Im probably lucky that the car is so detuned that it cant hurt itself!
I got to find some sponsors, SOON!!

I am just teasing you a bit, playing the weasel word game with your phrase,
"Using ANY engine to its max potential is the goal."
You did have more offers of sponsorship and help but I can appreciate why you refused them.
In all seriousness, good luck with your racing, Mark.

Thank you.
So, after over 20 Race days, the Holbert car with its Rennlist sponsored engine is running great. Oil anaylsis has shown that the engine is in great shape and nothing is wearing abnormally. Compression hasnt changed reachng the 220psi level and within 1psi per hole. Temps are good racing both in Oil and water with no changes from the stock stuff. The only mods to the engine was the 30lb injectors and the one step colder plugs.
So far, the Holbert machine has now allowing me to lead the championship point lead in one of the most packed fields in SCCA sports car racing. However, being still out spent, I dont know how long that will last.. If the big money boys break again and I dont, maybe there is an outside chance to bring home a championship with the big-motored Holbert machine. Doubtful, but there is always a chance.

Need some help wit dat? I mights knows some guys that, who could help wit your current sichiation, for which you finds yourself in.
Standard fee would apply of course plus airfare for 2 from Jersey.
BTW, Mark will you be running the new bigger E-ram on the Holbert when it's done Beta testing? I know it will feed a 5.0L, will it help on your stroker?

Thanks
Ive only got the one eRAM that tested to improve the shape of the hp curve at near max HP by making it broader, but now with the bigger engine, it doesnt seem to do anything. The dual inlet air system is a tough one to fit the eRAM to, because you need two of them. Ill probably do a test to see how they work.
