What's best, pop up pistons or 3/4 cams?

Use one of those Porsh motors too. You know, the one with dual ports. If you can't find one of those than try a Super BEE-tle motor. My buddy Kenny Butler had one in his trike with a Pinto carb and it hauled a$$. It was competion orange and ran 10s all day long. You have to use 87 octane because if you use 91 octane it will blow up.

Was that a front Porsh or a back Porsh?
