I don't know where you got your numbers. You sure need to take a look at the latest Nitro Joe's stats. I don't think your numbers fit the stats.

Billy, in my case I have found it is also a new group of customers that are showing up with DP and Ford combos. I haven't had a "Real" stocker engine in the shop for several years. A few Crate motors then all of a sudden these DP's show up.

Quote Stocker 2 "Just like NHRA doesn't care enough to throw out the bogus parts, they certainly won't care about throwing out some bogus horsepower ratings."

I thought this is what the new and enhanced AHFS was going to do for everyone.

Like Stocker 2 said..

It looks like NHRA has found it easier, probably cheaper too, to work a few numbers and stats after a race than do tech and correctly factor combos. So we now have a system that punishes anyone wanting to go faster.
Oh well, it is what it is.
