Kendalls was basically modified to be smooth and fast but with the backplate mod there is a runtime gain also. Kendall was pitting at 9 minutes, for him with any other brand engine he has ran getting 7.5 was tough. Most average racers should get over 10 mintes at most tracks with the same setup.
Zac Rose is running a D52 with a fuel mileage mod and is pitting at 10 minutes everywhere and running up front. This is more of a mileage mod than Kendalls. I could do the same mod on a R8 also.
