See y'all at the track, Thomas
I believe that is what everyone has said. No "stock motor" would do what the claims suggest.

Furthermore, I offered to take him up on the 930 bet waaaay back, though admittedly he would have to transport to Florida to win his $100.

Then it was clarified, the 8500 rpm is just "over the 8000" mark and only during gear changes (not running all day at 8500), the 165 mph was in a draft, and the 930's were stock - and probably pre-intercooler.
