When I got my mustang the HP was very close to the rating on the chassis dyno . But you are correct we changed the plugs and pick up 80 hp , dial up the tuning and pick up another 65hp changed the cam's pickup some more .
The old cars run bogus heads that are covered up 60-80hp , change the cams another 60hp , rework the carb , 15 hp cheat on rocker ratio another 25 hp , bogus size rod journals ,lighter weight piston and rods , turned down crank another 100hp .
Now you tell me thats stock ? and thats not bogus ? But it's NHRA legal because the rules say so .
Stock means the way it was produced from the factory not whats runing in NHRA stock elminator
The new car's will always have the advantage in drag racing .Technolgy is hard to beat get use to it .

It is not so much the technology differences between a Dragpak or a NA Mustang that has the advantage over my car for example. It is the compression, heads, camshaft lift, valve sizes, ports sizes, throttle body, and intake that are so far from what could run on the street in a "stock" car that makes them a bogus comparison.
There is no way you could take one of those cars and get an emmissions certification on pump gas like you do the traditional stock eliminator cars. There isn't that much more technology in one of those cars over say a LT1 or a LS1, but the main difference is that an LT1 and a LS1 were driven on the street on pump gas.
Let me have similar heads, lift, intake, compression, and throttle body in a LT1 and see if you could keep up with me.
