Re: New S/SS NHRA Horsepower Adjustments

Do ya think the LT-1 hp had anything to do with Richmond qualifying order? I am still trying to figure out this Auto Factoring stuff.

Eric i think the reason your combo was hit was because there are not alot of cars running this combo.You being carefull was the right thing.Like you said ther are so many B thru H cars running it keeps the average down in these classes . Also it dosn't help your a REDSOX FAN,,The only thing saving DONNIE is he has the right car and combo ..I believe Brain Cashman made acall on behalf of you and BILLY.to slow down you DAM REDSOX!!

Re: New S/SS NHRA Horsepower Adjustments

At the very least, the 83 and 84 cars should not be rated the same as the 85.
The 85 had a roller cam where as the previous two years did not. If NHRA would allow this combo to run as an automatic, I would run my car in L/SA. I tried to run it with the factory CFI for a few years with no success. That is why I decided to put a crate motor in it.

I was 100 pounds heavy and shortshifted to stay safe.It just drives me crazy to see this happen from someone else. I want to know where the two triggers were because that is what it takes, correct? If I was a B or H car etc it happens. A lot of heads ups there. Not in a class w/six of us where there is no need now, but will be w/FI cars coming over.Just venting Time to go back to making more hp I guess.

I know Keith I suppose I shouldn't complain about 3 hp but you know where I'm coming from.I love the analogy!!!!!

Eric

I would like to talk to you about your combo? I have a 85 mustang that i drive on the street with a 331 and I am thinking of turning it into a stocker, I have original heads, intake and carb. Is there a number that I can reach you?

Re: New S/SS NHRA Horsepower Adjustments

You had better keep the 331 bottom end to run that class now!

is it a coupe or hatchback?

Re: New S/SS NHRA Horsepower Adjustments

Chris, I agree, the ****ty D8 heads and flat cam, less lift if I remember correctly too. There is no way 83-84's should be lumped in with the 85's.
I found the intake for my 83, think when I find the carb I might change the nose on it and go 82 with a 2bbl @ 170hp.
