Agreed, no way the 5.4 with a 2.3 blower can compete at 3550 as the new rules states all cars will weigh 3550. Looks like a good move for the 5.4 by NHRA.

I here Ford Performance is no longer interested in doing anything for the 5.4. In fact, inside sources tell me that FP is actively trying to change the rule that now lets the 5.4 run the bigger blower. What a shame, racers that have supported Ford and brought back the Cobra Jet name have no future. Obviously I hope NHRA sticks by the new rules as it affects my combo, but there are many more 5.4 that would now be competitive, which is what I thought FP wanted.
