Re: Horsepowers
 

That's what I have, I don't have a Holley. I guess I need to build one this winter. My point was about why they are factored the same when there is a difference in cfm. That would be like having a lt1 & l98 factored the same correct? I'm a noob, I'm still learning lol.

Re: Horsepowers
 

The LT-1 and L-98 are virtually the same hp rating.


LT-1 is 279
L-98 is 270 Dish/flat top 275

Re: Horsepowers
 

Ok Sean the lt1 @ 279
L 98 @ 270
9hp
That's 99lbs off of my car at 11.0lbs per hp
Just sayin.
I hope that no one is being offended by this, I am just trying to wrap my head around a virtually the same combo being 99 lbs different. I am just using the 350 combo to make a point about factoring combos. I understand Jim storms deal with a body change, he runs his car out and takes the hit. I guess he should start 1000' racing to protect everyone running that combo and never show the potential. Rant over lol see you next season, I missed Christmas asking Santa Claus to give me some power off.....

Re: Horsepowers
 

It gets even more out of whack....

LT1 in Corvette, Camaro or Firebird 279hp
LT1 in GT rear wheel drive 295hp
LT1 in GT front wheel drive 299hp

Re: Horsepowers
 

Tommy, no offense meant, but why would you put it together with the wrong carb?

Re: Horsepowers
 

I was working on the combo I had. How is it the wrong carb? It has its own combo. I read on here where everyone says to work on your combo more all the time. That's what I did. I got faster, I'm not offended at all Ed , I'm happy with the results I had this year. I know I'm not the fastest, & I'm fine with that. The reason I posted anything on here was my questions about the factoring system of why I am grouped with the Holley & the weight difference in hp compared to similar combos like the Chevy.

Re: Horsepowers
 

If the two carbs are rated the same HP, you have the AVS, but the Holley flows 100 CFM more, you used the wrong carb. Should have used the Holley. Right?

Re: Horsepowers
 

Yup, there is allways next year Ed,

Re: Horsepowers
 

Should be a big boost.

Re: Horsepowers
 

When a combination has so much horsepower added that almost everyone has stopped running that combination, why is nhra so reluctant to reduce said hp?
