    525hp isn't enough around here. Especially early in the nights and early in the spring.
    Don't know where you live but I've seen 525 run darn good against supers. Then there is the weight placement advantage. At most places, I can't see it even being fair.

      There have been a few guys try the 525 here in Central Illinois. They echoed Lizardracing's comments. Very good late or if/when it got slick but just didn't have it early in qualifying and heat races. They switched back so they weren't constantly fighting from a deeper starting spot in the feature.

        Central Mo.
        UMP to East,
        USMTS to the South and West,
        IMCA to the North.

        I have good friends that use the CT525 in their Super DLM and do very well.
        It's just seems almost not enough in the Modified classes.

          The idea that a mod needs more is baffling to me.

            In a lot of places you can use all you've got early on with 700+. Later on not as much.
