This is just one guys opinion ,I can say that the 402/315 is way to high. 280 to 285 would be a lot closer in stock. SuperStock is a different story. Oh by the way I run the 350/270 @278 not 270.

Rick, when you say the 402-315 is way too high do you mean the NRHA factored horsepower as being way too high? If so I agree. We have asked the NHRA for a HP reduction for our combo but no dice. I hate to admit it I raced another K/SA car heads up at Norwalk a few weeks ago and he just walked all over me, it was that bad. I have had a couple of engine builders that stated the 402-300-315 engine combo wouldn't be their first choice. If you guys out there knows of anyone successfully running the 402-300-315 combination, I would sure like to speak to them for advise. Maybe we are doing something wrong, I don't know. I feel our car is just too heavy for the power it makes.
