Its never going to be fair to run a 69 camaro against a 2017 camaro technology will always be ahead if not Pro stock would be running 9.90's still!

You can take an ls motor throw a cam in it and run .70 under, take a 396 throw a cam in it
and run .70 over lol

I like new and old have had both ! Its all neat just needs to be fair for everyone somehow.

So you are saying that all of the pre 2007 HP numbers submitted by the OEM's were right?

He bought 100% original parts, including cam, carb, heads, etc. because for some reason it mattered to him that it was all original.....even though the pistons were knurled, the valves were sunk to China, the block was ridge-reamed, and on and on.

It made 570 HP on a DTS dyno with a set of Hooker street car headers.

I don't matter. There is no hp penalty at Indy.
Because of this the old cars will Never catch up
Indy is where you should be able to make a NEW ad get hp hit
This Is a problem. But most of you are drunk on the Koolaid
