Yeah, ive wondered how much it was to replace a wheel, and do a major rebuild.

I can guess on the dang motor, W2W gets almost 1k for the pistons

Damn it man, I can't believe anyone would even think of racing a setup like that without alittle race gas in the tank..doh! Especially when pump is almost as expensive as 116 these days

Yeh, but repairing the busted parts quickly starts out weighing the cost of good fuel. For what it's worth I run Sunoco 104 or Turbo blue that I can get at the pump and spray Meth also. No issues what so ever at 25psi. and 153mph trap speeds. 155+ real soon.
