Default Re: HP Adjustments on NHRA.com

What Michael is saying is make a set penalty for any FWD conversion. However, I am not sure how you would come up with the proper adjustment. You would have to have two good cars (one fwd and one rwd) set up equally with same engine combo, and you would have to test each car with the same drivetrain. Rather then having a Fwd conversion hp for every engine combo, you would have say a 10hp penalty for any FWD conversion. It is obvious that something needed to be done because the FWD cars are obviously faster, but the big question is how much faster are they?
