Under the index for under a grand!

Billy, I wonder what would happen if NHRA would reduce power factors on '70s 2-bbl engines of ALL manufacturers to the OEM hp rating? Since the majority of racers are GM fans, there has not been the mad rush to the 302 2-bbl combos like I thought there would be, but I will not comment more about that. There were as many '86 Chevy trucks built as 302 2-bbl Fords, if that is a statistic to ponder.

Of course, with NHRA's worshipping of the AHFS, something like that would never happen. Where's the fun?
