Welp…. Had to do more research (cuz that’s what I do) I decided to call Texas Speed. They suggested their Gunslinger. Not only is this $1k less than the Thompson, they have these in stock AND it’s a new block (Thompson was a core block). They said this is rated to 1000HP

So I’m thinking Gunslinger is a better option.

If your looking for quality then you can't really go wrong with TSP. I think they make some of the best engines out there.

H8Rain,

Did you decide or make a purchase? If you think you will end up going down the rabbit hole and iron block is a good decision.
