Answer
this depend,s on the engine manufacture , displacement , & rated hourse power.......older MTD model,s over 5 H.P. usually used a brigg,s & stratton engine......now....depending on how far you want to go......simple thing,s ...like removing the govenor will allow top R.P.M.....but don,t expect much engine life.....many internal modification,s can be made....like...milling the deck , milling the head , boring the cylinder to accept a larger,more high compression piston , installing a competition cam shaft, porting both intake & exhaust port,s,installing larger valve,s & seat,s.....straight exhaust , larger carburetor/or alcohol block........like I said.....many mod,s can be done approaching junior dragster type engine,s......drive train modification,s should also be considered....as well as tire,s , etc. ........good luck!

I've been interested in lawn mower rcing for a while now.I live in SC and haven't really got any idea of how to get started reacing myself,it seems like a fun way to spend some time and also from what Ive seen it looks like its family friendly which means I can bring my girls.How do I get started and find out where I could race when I do build a LMR?
Answer
Find a lawn mower race event, and start hanging out in the pits. Talk to the racers. Most racers are happy to talk about their machines, and most will give you tips on what to do (and what not to do!). They can also point you to resources, such as engine and chassis shops, parts houses, websites, etc.
PS: Camaraderie is one of the greatest parts about becoming a racer.
