@Crazy_Carl ok cool thanks for the info , after i break in the engine it will be ungoverned along with maybe a 16 tooth on cvt and run a 54 or so on axle , the track we run has 200 foot straight away so im sure there will be a few gear changes in my future LOL

BOUNTY HUNTER UPDATE : i did not finish it in time to take it down state for paint , so i did it my self !! i really did not want a real expensive paint job for 2 reasons - #1 i would not want to drive it afterwards #2 just in case i flipped it i did not want to wreck the paint and it is possible that i will roll it over !! LOL i tore it down but did not pull the engine , its working great where it is so i left it , redone the tie rods with 3/4 inch square tube , redone the break mount and tightened up the breaks , added turn outs to the exhaust out the left side , ground down the welds and started painting , took a day to get it ready and to paint took another day to put it all back together !! i did take it for a rip and this time i grabbed my GPS from my truck to see how fast at half throttle she really is !! not to sure how close the GPS is on a mower but she read 48MPH before i had to get out of it so i could turn !! still half throttle and i will say this - IM SCARED TO OPEN IT UP !! any ways the reason i busted my butt painting this week end is because i have to be in town at a local shop on Monday that is talking about sponsoring me this year for oval track , i will let every one know what happens !!
