Now rated the same as the 2015 copo 427

hmmmm?

The 2014/2015 COPO 427/430 is rated at 465hp.

The 396 Chev and the 392 Mopar are about the same. We just didn't get to earn our way to 430, we just got it. The Bow Tie started life @ 390 and is now 429 I think, and we birthed at 400 and rebirthed at 430. None made as of yet.

Under Stock eliminator no changes is listed:
Mopar 340 240 299 1972 Barracuda

Yet they show a increase to the same combo. The increase is for you only Jim!!!

It is in the classification guide.

I see it now. Big cam. That's all. Jim

My 13 year old daughter running JR dragster can understand this one...

Guy in MN has been running same combo for 30+ years in bad air. Since he got hit to 299, he repeatedly gets his *** kicked heads up by the same engine in an A-body platform rated at 293.

He scribes letter to the mothership asking to be put back to normal so he has a shot.

Another dude on the good air side of our world let it eat a few too many times during qualifying. Hopefully he earned a lot of byes / round wins thru his efforts to validate the HP increase.

Last I looked, there are around 3 of these cars left racing. One of the most beautiful body styles around, but they are getting less competitive every time HP comes out. I know of one I'd be surprised to see running Stock next year☹️

Doesn't look like I'm getting any Christmas cards this year!! 😎

Maybe a lump of coal in your stocking!

It's ok, I'm not the first....

Just wait till this Duster rolls out of this shop. Then I can play with the big boys

Cool. What will you gauge your progress? Round Wins or Qualifying?

I personally like round wins.

I want in....sounds fun destroying a combo!
