Trust me, the engine has plenty of power.....Melissa stayed in front due to my gearing(in which I ran out of)....I will be making gearing changes/building a custom close ratio trans and fine tuning the carb........when that FB460V gets in it's "Zone"......it pulls the front end up. At Saturday's Exhibition at Atlantic Tractor....I actually was able to smoke the tires on asphalt.(yes...on a Sportsman with George's Kawasaki).........I am also fighting poor handling characteristics of an old John Deere STX38 chassis.....we are considering transplanting the engine in a L100 Chassis. That engine likes to run..... and run hard at high rpm's....it's a handfull.
Thanks again George!
