Lifter Rule
 

The hydrolic lifter being allowed to switch to a solid lifter I was wondering how everyone thought about making all the Stick indexes the same as the Automatic indexes? And no I do not mean combine autos and sticks, just level out qualifying for I don't believe a Stick car has a performance advantage anymore and has not for quite some time so why punish a person for running a Stick in qualifying since that is the only place it will have any effect. Just my 2 cents worth and does not mean I am right or wrong.

I think tha8t would be fair. The stick comb have little advantaged.if any

Re: Lifter Rule
 

Watch what you ask for. If the auto trans index got matched to the stick indexes, that could turn into an unpopular concept.

Re: Lifter Rule
 

FYI, it's already combined for the slower classes

Re: Lifter Rule
 

I have not honestly looked at the lower class indexes in for ever, so with that being said what would be wrong with making the upper classes the same as the lower class indexes. I know it will never happen, and if the lower classes are all ready the same then what would be wrong with the upper classes being the same?

Re: Lifter Rule
 

Only K,L and T are the same. Some middle class indexes are lower in the auto classes than in the stick classes. Watch what you wish for. If they combine the indexes then the next thing they'll be doing is combining autos and sticks. And with the AHFS and same indexes, why wouldn't they?

Billy, I talked to pat about this because I wanted to make my comet a stick car U/S and he told me the indexes are the same and the AHFS affects both, I found this confusing, someone running an automatic that gets hit with HP also hits the stick combo

Re: Lifter Rule
 

Now THAT'S funny stuff right there! Pat would be wrong. Auto and sticks are different to the AHFS. But Pat SHOULD know that.

Re: Lifter Rule
 

Billy - Some others already have this - all FS cars run the the same index - stick or auto .

I'm just saying what I was told please investigate, the 72-76 maverick/comet 2bbl has no stick listed and when I questioned it, I was told auto/stick were the same.
