Nothing new in this design philosophy. It's a "throw away" motor.

My old '77 ran a 13.02, with the rear tires smoking first through third...at 107 mph top end. It felt like one of the fuel pumps was defective..it felt dead at fourth. Great cars...hard to launch properly, without burning up your clutch.

Yeah, i launched pretty aggressively one time and the clutch wasn't having it. So I just left soft to avoid clutch damage. I was happy with the 110mph trap speed
