Details - Flipping Pistons earns 5,000 dollars - LITERALLY ??

No doubt about it. But still, the difference in the race at the finish was .03, and was the piston-flip that difference and put 5k in Tony's pocket? That is the question.
I don’t think so. As far as I know he didn’t dyno anything before or after. Only proof I’ve seen dyno wise has shown no difference or such a little difference it wouldn’t be noticed.

But the argument could be made for it.
