Did you know the real NASCAR 426 ran a 950 cfm? It was the 3 barrel a real NASCAR intake had a notch in the rear for the throttle blade to clear at wot.

I believe NHRA allows the 3v but you can use the 4v 850DP as an alternative.

Actually the Hp rating is 440 for the automatic, and 430 for stick cars. The NASCAR 3-bbl 950 carb has not been legalized, but the three bbl manifold that was modified for it's use has been legal for over 4 years. The carb was not approved because " it was a NASCAR only carb". Not sure I follow the logic since this is an approved NASCAR engine.

Well this gives me one reason to join NHRA again. Not that I can run anywhere close to a good A/SA car but at least I wont have to change the carb and intake if I want to run a NHRA race.
I wonder why they didn't include the 117in wheelbase cars in this change. I'll have to hack the crap out of my wheel wells to shorten it up another inch.
