That's why we run class, we love heads up runs. At least I do.

Regarding 4 link. …I get to crew chief a 2006 Haas GTO Pro Stock car in Top Sportsman. My partner and I have done pretty well and I’ve got to say, it’s all in the 4 link, front and rear shock settings. It doesn’t hurt to have a great driver/partner either but my point is that the chassis tuning has helped my stocker too!

QUOTE=GUMP;673882]Not taken that way at all. I think that these are conversations worth having.

In 2010 I got one of the first Body-In-White Camaros. At that time I tried to work with Chevrolet to put a torque arm in it. Knowing that whatever the NHRA approved would be the standard going ahead, I didn't want to rock the boat by going directly to them myself. It was my thought that the torque arm would be the least controversial option. Obviously, that did not go my way.

That said, the four link is nowhere near as forgiving as a torque arm set-up.

The precedent had already been set for the Corvettes to run a solid rear. So, the NHRA had to allow something. I really don't see the four link as any great advantage.[/QUOTE]

Not the same thing at all. There is nowhere near as much adjustment in the Stockers. You also don't have all that tire...

I realize that, stuck verses wheel speed . Still- Your car has adjustments that the conventional car doesn’t. Big tires aren’t always the answer. And then there’s power management early. Your cars have a huge advantage tuning over conventional even with the digital/ Grid.

Think I’ll ask for a Tesla in A/

When I compare my combo to others I check the ratio between cu in and the factored HP rating. My ratio is 0.90 HP per Cu In. Some in my same class are rated at 0.75 hp per cu in. So there is no way I can compete with that. My combo is a flat top with a q jet. Given that the 632 should have at least a 570 hp rating. Now remember that engine probably has a very high compression ratio and CNC ported heads. So it might need to be a bit higher than a 0.90 ratio.
