As Alan posted you can get in touch with Nitro Joe, but save your breath talking to Wesley, NHRA is not in his vocabulary anymore, he's done, as in stick a fork in it!

One of the Best in my book, just had his fill.

That sucks. I enjoyed talking to Wesley. Guess he decided to drive that school bus full time!

No Joke Alex is serious ,

“Advanced Prototype” 5010, only the tenth Shelby Mustang to be built, was delivered to Shelby-American on December 18, 1964, and Shelby’s extensive performance modifications were completed by January 25, 1965. Chassis 5010 was then sent to the engine department to be supercharged, thereby serving as the lone prototype test bed for the Paxton/McCullogh supercharger, which was offered as an option on later production cars. In May 1965, this Shelby was sent to Bill Stroppe to be fitted with its distinctive 1965 Thunderbird tail lamp units while still in its term of research and development service, a fact supported by the minutes of a Shelby American meeting. Throughout its time at the factory, the specially equipped prototype was used by Shelby-American for publicity and show purposes as was done with a handful of the earliest examples. It is the only 1965 GT350 prototype to be equipped with a Paxton/McCulloch supercharger – a feature later offered by Shelby-American as an option for the GT350 range.

Here it is Alex , send them this picture

Alex asked for a 40 HP reduction so I assume the SC Shelby is in the books? If so, what is it rated at? I'd love to see one of those in Stock. The standard issue 306 HP Shelby needs a big drop in factored HP also. Shooting' from the hip, I'm guessing about 260-265 would be about right. I'll bet there's some sort of service replacement cam that's considerably larger also? :)
Go for it Alex!

Jeff , Shelby had it rated at 440hp

Is anyone else curious that the LS1 combo didn't get any horsepower?

Now come on ADUB you know the LS doesnt need anymore hp

Forget about asking for horsepower back because some illegal car who didnt get torn down got it for your combo...

They dont want to hear that.

Ed,
Wesley, RJ, Sid and I are having fun doing Popular Hot Rods Engine Masters Challenge. Wesley is the "Boss" Sid pulls the throttle on the dyno, I do the tear downs and tech and RJ... well RJ does.... Well RJ is just paid to be RJ!!! LOL! :~) Wesley also does the Tech for a couple of other race series... One is a series of horseshoe mud racing that I have a handfull of customer racing in. Wesley is one of the most organized, thorough guys I know. Last Sat he worked me over at my shop doing "dry runs" of EMC tear downs. Can you believe working for him is even "More Intense" than going through his tear downs?? For a guy that has worked for himself since 1972 it has been pretty tough working for someone else, but Wesley is "The guy".. I like it!!
