Totally agree with you that these sort of formulas don't apply in Stock and SS particularly on the slower low HP combos. In order to make these types of combos to run often require way overgearing which results in making all the power in the first 1/8 and then hanging on to the 1/4. At least that's the case in my SS/FS 4 cylinder car, probably most of the smaller displacement V8 cars as well, all done by the 1/8 mile.
