A car on a track in one race day will run 100 1/4 mile drag races in one day. Just a fast engine is only a part it has to take a load and what we are doing to it is going to be a tough one.

Thanks for the clarity of your performance expectations. The only thing I can think of to meet these goals, would be to get a platform that would create exceptional torque and run a taller gear to keep the rev's reasonable.
I'm always learning a lot from the people on this page. If an engine can be built inexpensively, that I could hold WOT in second gear all the way to work, I'm in for a great learning experiance.
I look forward to my learning curve moving upward again.
Thanks again for your clarity.
