Re: HP Adjustments on NHRA.com
 
A few years ago somebody knocked off 50-75 HP off some Corvette, then the 400 Chevy got a typo, then the 390 Fords got a gift, and the 383's (both stones), I'm sure there are other examples as well

Not too sure I'd be popping buttons over being fast under those conditions

As someone once posted here: they're not fast, or smarter, they're just in the wrong class

RJ, you are correct. Us Mopar people are a bunch smarter than you Blue Oval folks. Now that we got that out of the way, I might have to look at my old Super Bee. It's getting closer to those 396 cars. We were about a half second behind. Maybe I will just stay in the new cars. Less controversy there. But your new car needs hp.

Yes you are correct we do need more horsepower to keep up with you guys.

I wonder how many illegal motors have caused legal motors HP?

They're not illegal, they're undocumented.

I would guess not many. There are very few disqualifications during tear downs. I think most Stock and Super Stock racers try to stay with in the rules. At least this is my observation. There is also the protest provision in the rule book if you suspect someone is illegal. Put up the cash and they have to tear down.

That ship left the port many years ago.
That is the reason why we have ported heads in Super Stock, bogus port volume numbers and much more that has been allowed throughout the years.

Beard, more hp equals more weight! Those who choose to run their cars to trigger the reviews reap the benefit of pounding their chest and adding more lead! There's your weight adjustment! Pretty easy to figure out, for me anyway!

Kevin, and all others who don't like SS with GT included......go run Comp!

Because you can put different engine combinations in the same FWD car!
