I wouldn't say that. Look at street glow and Ecko, niether car really directly promotes a product thats actually a part of the car. they just get the name out. alot of Import Guys buy stereo stuff too.

The car has yet to see the tarmac yet this season. It will try to make its debut this weekend at Maple Grove or at Etown. If not, im sure it will make some shakes this season. Its been a long road for Lenny and Crew.

Car broke on on the dyno before they even tried to make power runs. It never did have good oil pressure from the start and spun a rod bearing. It has a morroso oil pump instead of the factory unit...if you ask me, stock works.

Actually, I had to rebuild that motor for him. The person who built the motor in the first place for Lenny put LS rob bearings on a GSR crank!!! Not good. This is what caused the bearing seize. It is now 100% and should be making some good numbers soon.

As for my thoughts on external oiling, I look at it this way. If I could, I would put it on every motor I build! It is well worth the peace of mind to spend the $500 to protect your $3000 - $12,000 investment!!! I blow oil pumps on the Bergenholtz CRX like it is going out of style, so we will be switching it to an external very soon. Everything gets balanced, so that is not the cause. The reason for the oil pump failure is the 1000+ hp at the flywheel at over 10,000 RPM!!! Stock just can't hang there. Some people get away with it without a problem, but I have numerous people that swear by external units like myself.
