Congrats! That's awesome. I can not believe cars that aren't all out race cars are going this fast.

Just curious if this is one of the darton wet sleeve motors. Thanks

No this isn't 'the wet Darton sleeve blocks'!

It is ARE's own Re-Sleeved LS1 block. Look here for

Cool man, thanks. I'll get in touch on Tuesday. Happy birthday little man.

Congrats to ARE for the wicked running setup. Might we ask for some 170mph runs.

ARE only uses their own designed dry sleeve motors. All of their big bores use dry sleeves.
