Re: End of year HP
I've been looking for more horsepower, I didn't know you could request NHRA to get some. And here I've been working on the car the whole time.
In the past I have sent HP request and included graphs showing the difference in other liked class cars, well written observations and detailed comparisons. Nothing happened, it amazes me how some combos get instant gratification, while others are brow beaten. NHRA needs to update their AHFS system and start reviewing all the data that they have from numerous runs, Such as 330', 660', 1,000' incremental times to determine what is being protected. But that idea was given to them over 20 years ago and fell on deaf ears. Ron Ortiz U/SA get your free HP right here. |

Take a look at this for information on the AHFS. http://www.nhraracer.com/content/gen...633&zoneid=132 They don't take hp off of a combination unless it is currently being run, and it has to meet the requirements to be eligible for a reduction. All the request does is makes them look at the combination to see if it meets requirements to get hp off. |
Re: End of year HP
Thanks Cooter, the info was very helpful. Seems a lot better now.
When I filed for the request it was in regard to the 273's being run by the Dodges. My Plymouth has a B&B carb while the Dodges have a Stromberg, but they had to weigh more than me. Then they grouped us all together with the weight breaks the same, but no change for me, and we both have the same minimum weight. Also within the request and graphs was the Buicks which were flying, including Lloyd Mackay which ran R, T and U and held the record for all the classes at the same time. But the biggest complaint within the request was Bob Dennis and his Cutlass Banana car. Like I said ,it fell on deaf ears. Ron Ortiz U/SA the times they are a changin' |

"NHRA needs to update their AHFS system and start reviewing all the data that they have from numerous runs, Such as 330', 660', 1,000' incremental times to determine what is being protected."
I think they would get a lot of flack if they did, let's face it, a large percentage of the racers don't want the AHFS to work. That's why you can set a national record 1.87 or 1.91 under and not get horsepower on Monday. Jim Mantle V/SA 6632 |

Re: End of year HP
Not all cars run the back half the same in relation to their 330'.

Re: End of year HP
Ed, I'm not talking about a single measurement of one particular position on the track. I'm referring to using all the incremental times as a whole to determine lifting. With today's technology one could easily figure what a car will run all out, every good racer knows exactly what their car would run even if they are lifting. But, of course, racers would not want this technology to happen to them. But, hey what do I know, it is a performance based category. We all know how the game is played, this would just be leverage for the AHFS.
How do I get horsepower but still run the same ET. Ron Ortiz U/SA should I lift |
Re: End of year HP
Ron, a lot of guys use a throttle stop, a restrictor plate, or just weight to slow down. I have all that in the trailer.
I'm not sure watching incrementals would really help them much. I was 180 heavy most of last year, running it out the back door. |

There is a lot of difference between those engines on the street in production cars compared to current prepped Stock Eliminator configuration. The 327-275 has almost as much blueprinted compression (11.9 vs 12.2), the same heads, camshaft difference doesn't matter much under current rules, and a much larger carb (Qjet vs 585 Holley). Add to the fact that the original 327-350 intake is not much better than a good Qjet manifold and that the original dome configuration restricts flame travel in the combustion chamber and it is easy to see why there is not much difference in current rated hp. |
Re: End of year HP
Evidently GM gave some funny specs for the 275. I know of a couple other engines like that.

Re: End of year HP
Funny how some defend big power reductions for one make and stand on the barricades shouting about other makes reductions yet they seem to run in the same ballpark against the index
The Chevy II must have the record for dropping classes A to E?? How far off we have come in the 35 years I raced the class,well,the last 15 anyway. All engines should be the same,Stick,auto,model etc. Models that need help should really be far and between. Loosing interest in this by the day now. Now GM people is even pissed about other GM combos,you see,we never gonna get anywhere on the internet. Peace out |

Re: End of year HP
Keep in mind these heads still have to CC and have the same valve size as the head you're replacing.

Re: End of year HP
I'd say not a chance. With the way things have gone,"who knows" is a smarter reply.
