Rick, I assume he means ET.
I don't think you could really determine who's the farthest under the index. There are lots of cars that can go more than a sec under. But, as all here know, most don't want any hp added to their combo, so they sandbag.
Not many would want to make their car less competitive.
But I AM still interested in the SS/AM deal. For you guys who know, what are the basic rules, which allow them to go quicker than a regular SS or GT car, with a similar engine. Sorry for the infantile question, but I don't have a rule book, & haven't found the answers online.
Here's all I've found online, so far.
" SS/AM 7.50-8.49 pounds per cid '
So, if it's like the old MP class, the small cube high rpm engine has the best chance to be competitive. I still remember seeing/hearing those 283 or? sbc MP engines screaming, right before they popped the clutch, then all the way down the track. I assume they were turning 8000 or more, even back then.
Those cars had tall tunnel rams with 2 Holleys.
