    • @bluesrike
      @bluesrike Год назад +3

      JDM Masters has a video where they also visited Mine's and they did get to talk about how they build their engines.
      TL;DR They build the bottom end for extremely high power levels (900+hp) but they tune the engine to produce about 500-600hp because that's the sweet spot of having enough power to make it exciting, but not so much that it's uncontrollable.
