i dont want to be seen as they guy who supports nascar... but the engines really are spectacular... the are running in excess of 10,000 rpm for 4 hours on 350 cubes and making 700+ hp with restrictors... they may be lo-tech carburated and pushrod tech... but there is some massive development costs in giving a slight advantage...

i think last year, they limited the final gear ratio to 'limit' egine speeds...
