Larry, I hope you qualify for each and every one of them too! See, considering how the rules have changed in Stock over the last three decades, to even make carbureted Stockers quicker and faster than OEM, there's only so much power you can extract from a carburetor. However, ever since the f.i. craze got started in the '90's, with the tuneable computers (and now cars with superchargers in them), yeah those things can be tweaked more easily than a carburetor can to increase power (just like adjusting boost levels in turbos), so here you get that luxury and a .3 second index reduction? Where's the fairness in that? It sure isn't here with this new Indy class!!!
