Barry I see you ran more than -1.00 under 3 times this last year. Do you consider your car under rated? Yes i went -1.17 under at Boise and am damm pround of it, was not on kill did my normal routine warm up, no ice, my normal tune up and weight. I dont think my car is under rated. Look at other foxbody mustangs only a few others are fast.
Let me see if i can explain this to you with this example then you tell me what you think.
So a 70 camaro looks like it can A,B,C. You are running A. So when a 2015 camaro get some more HP and cant run B anymore they will be in A with you.
Can you run with one of these?
Do you think it is an under rated combo?
Would you go to B to stay away from them?
Barry I am very much like you, I am always thinking of new ways to make my car go faster. I work on my stuff to make it fast. I run the test day before the divisional race and put more runs on it that day than I do the rest of the weekend. Most test days I have plans on what to test and usually make over 10 runs that day.

James you should be proud of that run. It's a he## of a pass. No, I don't think you should get HP. Just wanted to point out to you that a lot of cars under good conditions can run close to or faster than 1.20. Take a look at the 1970 402/375 hp Nova. Now rated at 415. Just because of a heads up run in good air. Should the car be rated 15 HP more than the 1970 Camaro. This change is going to make it easier for any combo in a popular class to get HP not just the underrated ones. The 2015 Camaro's are faster than my car. There are a lot of A/SA cars in Div one. If I catch a few of them during the year I could end up getting HP long before the 2015 Camaro's putting me even further behind. BP
