At least that's all your dad did to it. I had mine for a week and first time I let him drive it he toasted the motor. Separated the housings just below the exhaust port. At least I got to swap the stock 12a for a streetport 13b at a fraction of the cost.

Maybe that will steer him in the right direction.

I say no. As a father, I would hate to see my son speed. In fact, my son's FB (my former blue FB with streetport), is now back to 100% stock and I used an old clutch that has been sitting in the shed for years. I did many wonders to it that:
1. He has to rev the motor to 2500 just to get out of 1st gear.
2. He cant speed shift past 5K RPM (clutch slips).
3. He cant speed past 80mph.
