Somehow I think we got a little off base here. It is not Jeff's fault, or Chrysler's fault, or Ford's fault that the NHRA has totally thrown out the rule book and allowed these Mustangs and Challengers into Stock. All of you know that if you were able to, you would build or have one built and go racing. Do I look forward to seeing Jeff in the other lane? NO! In fact I hope he will let us H/SA guys know when and where he will be running that beautiful mechanical work of art! This all comes down to the fact that NHRA has broken their own written rules and put these cars into Stock while giving them an indefensible HP rating. Hell, if they want to rate that 360 combo at 275hp then put my 360 back at 175hp! It makes just as much sense. I think maybe Jeff was sort of thumbing his nose at the NHRA when he let it all out on Thursday at the CajunNats and ran 10.50 @ 127. -1.65 under the new index! -1.95 under the old one! Jim

I guess since these engines use full aluminum roller rocker arms it must be ok for all SB Mopars to use them now?


."Ron has a good point If these new cars fit into CF/S or U/SA, would the choir be singing as loud?"

The answer to that one is very much a yes! I received everything but death threats when I qualified #1 many times with both the Cadillac and the Turbo Dodge! What nobody remembers that? And remember Mike Senia's Cadillac in T/SA and U/SA? We were driving Cadillac's before Cadillac's were cool!
