Not so fast. The AHFS is working, but it is far from final. It is working by design just like it does with any other combination, but the Drag Paks and Cobra Jets started from a very underfactored number. The only way one can say it is working is due to mathematical calculations and not that it is working in the respect that the cars are properly factored.
And to infer that this is much to do about nothing is disingenuous at best. The complaints about the current Drag Pak/Cobra Jet combinations are the tip of the iceberg. It has taken nearly 3 years on some of these combos to get them within sight of their proper horsepower ratings. Where were we at this point with the much maligned LT1s? They were going into their own class to finish sorting out and they weren't that much out of line in the first place!
Back to the tip of the iceberg. For you to suggest that we were wrong with the complaints, how do you suggest we handle the Drag Pak/Cobra Jet combos that are yet to be released? Are we to expect to wait three years on each combo to get them close? This is a perpetual problem for Stock Eliminator, Super Stock, and Super Stock GT (which is the most difficult to factor, IMHO).
So, David, how do you suggest we handle this going forward? You know my feelings. The FX class for Stock is the perfect place to show off these cars and combos. It is self fulfilling. Frankly, I don't see how you have a logical argument for anything different, but I am listening.
