Its about time to get rid of the 2 carb tunnel rams and go to FI and NO hood scoops other than factory production designs. Maybe change the cubic inches to around 400 (or 358 inches ala Pro stock truck) and use small blocks??? That would put them in the mjd to low 7's. As it is right now they are almost as boring as Top FOOL and HA HA cars. Not to mention the cost. Just my opinion and we all know what thats worth....lol.
This deal about EFI comes and go's, but you have no idea about the added cost this will add. It will also have a bigger spread between the have's and and the have nots. The cost of having factory engineer's to baby set the teams. The people to witre the soft ware. The only way it would work is to have a spec ecu that is sealed (so no traction control0, Throttle body, injector and will will still have to have some type of buldge on the hood to clear manifodls and valvecovers. Now don't tell me I have no idea what i am talking about cause I have seen first hand what the expense is from the IRL and Rolex serris DP & GT program. for the last 8 years.
