Re: Engine hp/tq estimate???
You said short dirt track sooooooo,
Different intake if allowed, if that carb is VS convert it to mech secondary and teach the driver to drive. Easiest plan of attack is rent a big church parking lot for a couple hours and load it with soap and water and have the driver learn how to be smoother. Kids slick track is a good one too.
The ambitious and humble driver will want to get better/faster. The kids driving daddys wallet don't give a fack and just want what the other guy has that is passing them.

Heat is energy, energy is horsepower...but you gotta control the heat.

Re: Engine hp/tq estimate???
What class rules are you racing under as those may restrict or disallow what some here might suggest and help you set up for?
