Quote: There is few guys that run the 525 crate LS motor in mods around here. In fact one guy won a few USMTS races and people started crying about the lighter weight. They made him add weight at the mid plate and he still won. He finally put a mod spec motor in and won with that too. After that people quit crying.
When we switched to ZZ4 crates years ago same thing happened with us. We were the first to run them. They added weight, we won. Some other racers switched over. But we still won. Then other racers whined that our motor was "special".
So one night after we won, a guy says "I want THAT motor" So we said ok, buy us a new one and you can have THAT one right NOW. So we yanked the motor right after tech and handed it too him.
Soon all the cars coverted to crate motors and were paying $10K less for motors, turned less RPM, and lasted much longer.
