I said Thank You It's a Clocked Bonito. All he could think to say was "WOW". Exactly the only thing all 3 of us could think to say!
THANK YOU John & Neal For a absolutely amazingly Clocked engine. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!!

Hey Neal and John, I was watching some 1/8th on-road stuff and wondered if you guys have anyone running Clocked on-road stuff? As much as I prefer off-road, there's something about flying down a straight at 120kph.....

I have built some...but we have not delved very deep into onroad.....to put out any sort of competitive product we would need to develop it in a competition environment.and unfortunately there is not anywhere even remotely close enough to travel to to race.......Also we do not really have any smooth surfaces anywhere near us.....so testing out a 80MPH road car just in not possible......I would love to , but it is not practical.....I have quite a few drag engines , but not much for road race engines other then for GT car

I want it for buggy. I run your truggy mod P5/086 in my buggy and love it. Also ran your fire 11 in buggy with the long needle carb/2058 combo.
Wondering if the 2087 pipe that comes with the fire 11 combo any good?

smooths out the bottom end and screams more on the top (can you imagine anything higher?). Little better mileage too.
