David thanks for clearing that up I did not realize AA was completely open ended. Makes it a bit different than the lower class cars. My old combo got 36hp in 18 months and moved it a from a natural M/SA to a natural I/SA and I could no longer run my favorite class K/SA by just adding weight I assumed AA would work the same. But they just get to keep adding weight. To stay at the 7.5
It will be interesting to see what these cars weigh and what the AA index is in a few years.
To Jack; I would agree with you. The guys who have these cars right now won’t be quite so enthusiastic when they have to pull an intake/blower and head off of one of those motors. It will definitely be an all-nighter in the teardown barn. Not very familiar with the Ford stuff but aren’t they DOHC or SOHC motors?
