The aluminum wing should help the traction issues & the "Type R" stickers should add at least 70hp to the wheels. I wouldn't worry about slowing down.

did you guys not know, that painting a block traps the engine heat in making the gas combust stronger. Yeah that worth about 30 horse per piston....



looks good post pics when the engine is together!
