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!

    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.
