The guy over on S&F goes on to say his 150 is not stock in his defense.
I am with you Dok - why not start at 200/225 or go grab a 280 if that is your thang.
Some people like to actually learn and tinker. . . as well if they can learn from the stuff they can afford then why not. If the world could just go out and afford a drag motor way more people would've owned one. I respect a person for doing 90 mph with something they learned and put together way more then a guy with a fatter wallet. . .
Stock-ish isn't stock but it is clear where they are coming from now as they try to justify stock. Bolting on HP IMO shouldn't be stock any longer. Just because you pull parts from a donor 2.4/2.5/2.6 from blocks, to carbs, to heads, cranks, to whatever doesn't mean at all it is still a "stock" 150 or 200. Just because it came with a merc or yamaha part # doesn't mean that it is stock for a given motor. I am totally cool with someone tinkering to learn (heck I am doing it) just don't tout it as a 150 any longer.
I guess what is needed is a new class - frakensteined stock than it would be more clearly understood.
