As far as hydraulic lifters, if there was no power gain why were they schimmed to act like solid lifters and now that they have to have only .010 movement it doesn't change the performance of an engine over a standard factory hydraulic? The valve lash was then built in to the lifters versus adjusting at the valve.

Nhra doesn't want to do their jobs that we "all" pay for, police the cars and HP factoring. That's what it comes down to.

Because someones car doesn't perform like other people's cars doesn't mean that they don't work hard at their combo.

BTW, the Chevy 302 is factored to 309 HP, that's 1.023 Hp per cubic inch. How many hydraulic lifter engines are even close to that?
Hey Casey, please stop. This ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ is starting to seem like whining.

[QUOTE=Alan Roehrich;568656]How many of them have 11.0:1 compression, 2.02"/1.60" valves, 0.485"/0.485" lift, a high rise aluminum intake, and a 750 carburetor on a 302 cubic inch engine? Or the RPM capability of that combination?


Sounds a lot like an IHRA Crate Motor combination to me!.. sorry... I couldn't resist!

This is what it ALL boils down to. Its the bottom $$$$$$$$ line that counts for NHRA. I guess your lucky the NHRA does what little inspection they do at INDY.

While I'm in a "Good" mood and this really doesn't have anything to do with stock or S/S what do you guys and gals think about NHRA adding the MOUNTAIN MOTORS to the Pro stock program for 2019 and still retaining the 500 inch combos to run together. Carbs are optional on the big engines or FI and I assume a wt. allowance will be added to even things out. Just curious !

Terry, sounds like a good subject for it's own thread.

Pro Stock is dead and the plug will soon be pulled, replaced by FSS

The NHRA better take a good look at the 9 inch tire rule in FS/XX. A guy named Walsh just crashed his Dodge Challenger at the NMCA/NMRA race over the weekend. I think that they make to much power to use the smaller tire. When I find out more I will start a new thread Billy. I just wondered if anyone had seen this deal on Pro stock. Have fun everyone.

In my opinion once you change that tire rule and go to a bigger tire, it will slowly start changing the class to cater to mutimillion dollar teams to dominate it. The 9" tire rule levels the playing field to rely on chassis, tuneup, and horsepower to get down the track. Once you give them more tire, I think smaller teams will become less and less competetive.

And what would be cooler than 40+ FSS/Pro stock cars trying to qualify again.
