“For us, a year consists of 150-200 passes on an engine. So really, that’s our standard for use in a year’s time. We come from bracket racing with quick turnarounds and lots of events. At one point in time, our track had 32 events in a year, so we know what it takes for an engine to survive in a severe-duty environment.”

150-200 passes per year.., So maybe 30-50 laps of a race course.

"Severe duty enrivonment". How cute.

That's a great example and part from the aftermarket that was really well done with a lot of thought and solutions for so many needs and problem solutions! Kudos to those guys! =D>

I wonder if this "Rocket" is a Paul Gentilozzi offshoot? Can't help think how Joe Mondello would have loved this block. Good for these guys regardless, I hope that they sell lots of them.

John Stolpa, owner of Rocket Racing brought this Block to the Market. It compliments his already excellent Cylinder Head / Intake Manifold offering.
