Re: I need to apologize!!
Thursday Test and tuning for .65 under runs? Not .649. Easier said than done.

What I don't understand is guys with popular combos running 95 under regularly.. Most likely won't even get a bye run out of it...It can only come back to bite them. Sure it ain't fun to slow yourself down but that's the hand we're dealt.

So Tim are you saying that no matter what happens from here forward, we get HP?

Re: I need to apologize!!
Tim you you worked hard and spent $ enjoy what you haveThis isnt about you its about NHRA and their foolish rules
What we do is about performance not about slowing down We spend 20K to 30k for a motor to slow it down Until the racer has NHRA respect we will deal with this until stock is done or might as well be done I love NHRA racing but hate where were headed.....

Re: I need to apologize!!
All runs for that engine combo regardless of class/combo that are faster than .649 will be averaged together and if faster than .850 the motor gets a hit using the fastest run recorded. So you need for that engine combo to have as many runs between .850 and .650 to get the average lowered. Been there done that and its difficult to race that way

Re: I need to apologize!!
Tim I'm shocked we didn't get hit this past winter. When I watched some cars with our combo qualify and race set up plus 1 second under IN BRACKET MODE last year I was literally shaking my head!!
I didn't freshen my stuff over the winter specifically because of the new rules. I'm doing my best to keep our average down! LOL!! |

Re: I need to apologize!!
I believe you just admitted that the 350/255 needs horsepower and I have happened to agree with that for quite a while, check my record.
The 396/375 is next. |
