The engine was built by Mark McKeown from MME Racing http://www.mmeracing.com
Dyno Pull - He only went to about 5300RPMs did feel the need to push it more for a street engine, but is kept making more and more power up to that range. He designed the engine for max power on the street. It has a nice smooth power band.
