I don't know about NASCAR... but at our local dirt track, Marine intakes will disqualify you.

did some googling.... seems quite a bit of differences between "Marine" and "Auto" engines.....Marine Engines Versus Car Engines:

Its about a $7,500 motor, not counting installation, etc... I don't have trim tabs and neither of the bimini tops are on the boat right now. I was told that once the motor is broken in, a computer could be connected to it and adjustments can be made to increase the horsepower and increase the top end even further.
So, with that kinda price tag I would hope it was actually done to marine specs. If it wasn't, there's reason for concern, if it was, dude you've got an awesome powered machine!:eek_animated:

Yeah, it was done correctly by a professional marine mechanic. It has all the proper marine stuff on it. Can't wait to get it on the water again.
