Mark McKeown had a 4.6 2V(?) motor at Engine Masters Challenge last year with a Factory FI intake, still had the factory injectors on it but not hooked up, but with I believe a 750 Holley on it that made 465 peak hp. I talked to him about the motor and he told me it was a pretty basic piece. Now remember they are limited to compression (10.5 max) and we check the finalists. Based on his performance I would say you are very close in your observation.

We all know that the New Combo's are bogus both Ford and Mopar and probably soon to be Government Motors. The problem is how to fix it. I don't believe that the powers that be will pay much attention to anybody unless there is a plus side for NHRA. Hope to see you somewhere

Later RJ
