Agree with PanteraDoug completely. Back in the "old" days when you had a car with a engine like this you worked on it all week to run it on weekends, part of life. Today though with computer controlled crate engines, same power and 1000% better reliability.
I've got a buddy who has a 36 foot Specter CAT with 2-575 SC's in the back. He's got one speed, wide open at 107 to 118 mph (depending on beer boxes and chicas) for years. Work done on both engines, change the oil and filters.
