Not to brag on being beaten (?!), but I have been outran by cars that I can easily pull on the straight.

It ain't just motors....

Now that being said - can someone pass me some tricks to get more rpm's out of this thing?
keep the bushings oiled and run the heck out of it. the old motor is a fast motor in my experience
