That is a FAST L/CM! We have run a 1972 Maverick in L/CM using the 302/215 @240 and the 302/270 @250 both great combos only difference is camshaft both use the GT40 P (Explorer, Mountaineer) heads. A little horsepower adjust will not hurt.

I guess now we will have to wait and see! So, as it is written, you can only receive hp from qualifying runs?

It doesn't matter if everybody is fast. The way the rules are written you go too fast you get HP. end of story.

Sterling, i wish they would take the weather into consideration but they wont. Atleast they didnt when they gave me the last 10 hp a few years ago at Rockinham when it was 1200 ft below. I could use that 10 back, if they factor the weather into it. Still good run!

I run the (regular)GT40 heads on my car. 255HP. w/.480 lift cam.
I'm not sure what's on/in Bianchi's.

You have to take that into consideration when it's fast. Need to slow your car down when it's like that.

Some of us never see those conditions.

He is running the 270/250 combo with the gt40p heads. That is the same combo I had in my 95 Mustang in M/CM, the same car that Amanda Justice ran in L/CM. He should have been giving HP last year, he went 6.99 at the first race in Florida last year. That is the best Ford combo on the list. I went a best of 7.10 in the eighth before I sold the car and a 11.31 at Rockingham five years ago. I know IHRA adjusted some combos last year but did not on some that when under. All under runs should be adjusted.
