Re: HP adjustments after Carolina?
 

L/CM combo is under rated for sure, I run the aluminum head version of it in I/CM, and
it is factored @ 285HP. The heads flow within 10-15 cfm. How it runs that fast?...( yes , I have been breaking my ***** on this combo).

Re: HP adjustments after Carolina?
 

I thought it was -1.20 for 1/8 mile?

Re: HP adjustments after Carolina?
 

That camaro definitely needs hp!

Re: HP adjustments after Carolina?
 

Thought it was -1.15 under for 1/8th and -1.40 under for 1/4.... some people have been hit for -1.15 under in the 1/8th, while some were not. Don't care what the rule is one way or the other, would just like to see it published somewhere and adhered to.

Re: HP adjustments after Carolina?
 

Bottom of the list in 2000 shows a reduction to 250hp for iron GT 40 heads and 265hp for Alum. heads. Not sure if they are even on the list now. We are considering running the 250 hp motor with the good heads.

Re: HP adjustments after Carolina?
 

Sterling went 6.52 @ 77 mph that %&+?/ needs hp! Where you at Sterling?

Re: HP adjustments after Carolina?
 

Page 103 in the 2014 IHRA rule book, shows -1.40 1/4 and -1.15 in the 1/8th during qualifing is automatic hp. I use to put that to the test and go -1.39 under in qualifing and -1.45 under in eliminations. By the book, i never got hp. Wheres the sheets for this past weekend?

Re: HP adjustments after Carolina?
 

That is a FAST L/CM! We have run a 1972 Maverick in L/CM using the 302/215 @240 and the 302/270 @250 both great combos only difference is camshaft both use the GT40 P (Explorer, Mountaineer) heads. A little horsepower adjust will not hurt.

Re: HP adjustments after Carolina?
 

I guess now we will have to wait and see! So, as it is written, you can only receive hp from qualifying runs?

Re: HP adjustments after Carolina?
 

Correct

Re: HP adjustments after Carolina?
 

-250ft. Everybody is fast right

Re: HP adjustments after Carolina?
 

I would hope. LOL

Re: HP adjustments after Carolina?
 

It doesn't matter if everybody is fast. The way the rules are written you go too fast you get HP. end of story.

Re: HP adjustments after Carolina?
 

Sterling, i wish they would take the weather into consideration but they wont. Atleast they didnt when they gave me the last 10 hp a few years ago at Rockinham when it was 1200 ft below. I could use that 10 back, if they factor the weather into it. Still good run!

Re: HP adjustments after Carolina?
 

I run the (regular)GT40 heads on my car. 255HP. w/.480 lift cam.
I'm not sure what's on/in Bianchi's.

Re: HP adjustments after Carolina?
 

You have to take that into consideration when it's fast. Need to slow your car down when it's like that.

Some of us never see those conditions.

Re: HP adjustments after Carolina?
 

He is running the 270/250 combo with the gt40p heads. That is the same combo I had in my 95 Mustang in M/CM, the same car that Amanda Justice ran in L/CM. He should have been giving HP last year, he went 6.99 at the first race in Florida last year. That is the best Ford combo on the list. I went a best of 7.10 in the eighth before I sold the car and a 11.31 at Rockingham five years ago. I know IHRA adjusted some combos last year but did not on some that when under. All under runs should be adjusted.

Re: HP adjustments after Carolina?
 

From the 2014 IHRA online rule book

http://www.bluetoad.com/publication/?i=186944&p=105

"competition vehicle MAY have an increase in its horsepower rating"

Nothing set in stone here......

Re: HP adjustments after Carolina?
 

Try d to get weather stats thru the blog during the livestream, aparantly no one cared

Re: HP adjustments after Carolina?
 

Cooter Hildago would call that the 1000' nationals. LOL

Re: HP adjustments after Carolina?
 

It doesn't help to lift at the 1000ft when you're running 1/8 mile!

Re: HP adjustments after Carolina?
 

Sorry. I never/won't run 1/8th mile. Didn't think about that.

Re: HP adjustments after Carolina?
 

Ed
1/8th mile is a lot of fun. Not much time for games. You see more all out runs. I actually prefer running 1/8th mile. Its much easier on your equipment. Everyone has there preferences.

Re: HP adjustments after Carolina?
 

Mike, I've tried it. Found it boring. It is easier to drive the finish line at lower speeds. Pretty much always went rounds. Just did not like it. I would stay home first.

Re: HP adjustments after Carolina?
 

Ed I'm gonna disagree with you there brother. While I too prefer 1/4 mile, most of what we have down here is 1/8th and I enjoy it for the challenge of driving the stripe. Speed has VERY little to do with driving the stripe. Closing rate is EVERYTHING. In the eigth you have very little time to get a look at whats going to happen, make a decision, and execute. Personally I feel like I have FOREVER to make a decision when running 1/4 after running 1/8th for many years.

PS; Chip is good. Picked up a lil over the -2 chip that was in it but it seems waayyy more consistent.

Re: HP adjustments after Carolina?
 

Actually, speed has a lot to do with it, just *different* from closing rate. The faster you're going, the more distance per time you cover. Top Dragsters taking .001 at 190 mph is a few inches. A Jr. Dragster taking .001 at 70 mph is much tighter!

I've raced a few 1000' events, and find it to be the best of both worlds. Closer handicaps like 1/8th, but bigger speeds like 1/4 mile. From 1000' on, you're just ridin'.

Re: HP adjustments after Carolina?
 

For me, I like 1000'......eighth a little quick but better than not racing. My 265 is puking it's guts after 1250 anyway. A lotta bad can happen after 1000

Horsepower Adjustments (updated March 2014)

IHRA STK/SS Horsepower Adjustments

3/3/14

Stock Eliminator HP adjustments

• 302/270-250 Ford crate engine increased seven to 257 HP
• 1993-1998 Chevrolet Camaro 350/325 increased five to 330 HP

Re: HP adjustments after Carolina?
 

CRAP! Not even built yet and my combo is getting hit! Oh well, 7hp won't make the difference of qualifying or not...I think. LOL!

Re: HP adjustments after Carolina?
 

The hp on the 93-98 camaro was figured on ss instead of stock ...I have corrected it on the first reply #31.....
