LA versus Gen 3 race

real good friend of mine built a quite trick Gen 3 N/A piece for NHRA super stock.
He put it in his Drag pack car( 3250 ish) and it had major teething issues. He was hoping it would go faster than mid 9’s like his “ little motor” had, but it didn’t run any better.
he sold the car, and just recently sold the “ big” motor to a different guy who is going super stock drag pack racing himself.
a certain famous, well known class racer engine builder in Indiana now has it, and is massaging it, fixing the issues it has. This guy does all the stuff for Doug Duell, among many others. He is no joke.
should run very, very low 9’s once sorted, NA, or better.
