If we still had Farmer this would not be such a mess. I was told the NHRA tech people do know that many DPs are running with two barrels on the throttle body disconnected, and they don't care. Bill Farmer Dismuke would have cared.

That hood deal? Got me. I have taped the scoops up on my WS6 daily driver, it ran the same times both ways. I have dyno tested several on my old chassis dyno. If I gave you twenty dyno sheets, half ram air & half not, you could not tell me which were which. The low restriction exhaust that comes with the hood does not make as much difference as they vary car-to-car due to production tolerances and how they were broken in.

And, exactly how have the new cars helped the majority of Stock racers? What benefits have trickled down to them? Sure the little magazine writers, oem dealers and fab guys got a boost from it. But what the hell have these new cars done for the majority of Stock racers? Nothing! All the new cars have done is given the ego guys a chance to take advantage of their fellow racers and, in the end, they have chased off many dedicated racers. This scam was obvious to all of us from the very beginning. No matter which side a person supported we all knew it was a scam. nhra knew it as well and chose the cowards way out by hiding behind the ahfs. This sordid tale will not smell any better in the years to come.
