Re: Hooray!

Re: Hooray!
Thank you Billy Nees.for making this happen
I agree about the transmission deal. But not one of you Chrysler and Mopar guys will admit the intake is bogus Be real ! Us Chevy people are stuck with factory intakes and heads. I wish I could get anything aftermarket intake for my poor Chevy. You guys are getting 1 year free enjoy while it last. I gotta ask. Do you really think the Chrysler would have beaten the camaro heads up without out the bogus heads and intake ? Don’t think so

Re: Hooray!
That can opened when they allowed this stuff in the first place. It will take more effort to get those worms back in the can.

I've got a sneaking feeling that won't last.

Re: Hooray!
Just for the record James, it wasn't me. It was the SRAC.

Re: Hooray!
This change is really very much to our Benefit......
We run two 71 340 Demons with Iron heads and intakes and our 1.0 under stuff might have a better chance now that our competition that ran 1.5 under is slightly hampered. When the Alum. heads became legal a few years back......I call the gentleman who did my heads for 20 years and talked to him about a couple sets. he quoted me around $12,000 to $13,000 for each set.....Way beyond our budget (I have children and grand children that like to eat every day)! Currently we race in class the Alum. heads 340 and they are factored a D*mn 15 to 20 Horsepower LESS in the same engines and bodies. That being said......A lot of us have struggled to afford to run Stock with all the changing rules. If NHRA start changing a lot of different rules at this point in time......We will have to walk away and stop after racing stock for after over 50 years! Add some more changes and confusion and the resulting uncertainty will probably make others walk away as well. Not everyone has the funds to buy a bunch of new pieces to replace the thing that have changed over last 30 years! The famed Bobby Warren in the 70s had this on the back of his Nova: "A few men have become reasonably well off thru Drag Racing...... Of course they were Millionaires before they started" That holds much more true now 40 years later! John Irving E/SA

Re: Hooray!
Here's one more, put hydraulic lifters back into hydraulic engines. No reason to basterize hydraulic to solid, the horse power was calculated with oem lifters, if you change it up, you should be rated to the horse power of an engine close to the cubic inches that came from the factory with solids.
