Mark, you have been at this game a long time brother. It really just boils down to the age old engineering question of "what is the best air pump actually listed in the classification guide" doesn't it?
If I just had a taste or small percentage of your knowledge back in 93' I would have saved myself a lot of heartache, money and effort and studied that question gone out and bought what I needed.
Instead of taking what I had, taking it bone Stock low mileage w/the A/C Compressor on it, running a 10th under first pass, won a few bracket races with it and saying it has to be pretty easy to go a lot more under if I take it slow and find out what works to make it go faster legally.
That did work for a while as I reached to just over 7-10ths under, then the wheels came off and hit a wall, took it to San Dimas, they classified it as 110HP (instead of 99, and FF/SA orig. Class, but it weighed in well over 25.00 per. So GF/SA it was at 2,755 (raced it at 2,763).

Based on today's classification #'s, even that was wrong.
Fast forward to Englishtown, NJ Nat. Event May 1995, and a visit by the Nat. Tech Director (we are not going to tear you down....yet, unless you want to go through a mock 1, since we know for a fact you are almost pure factory (But Bernie please report to the Barn!), so a discussion begins, my question was, why on my meager 99 HP slow sled did someone just pluck out of thin air an 11HP hit to apply to my combo, and his answer was "that does not happen, but let me go look at it!"
30 mins later he came back and said, hmmm, all the data history we have on your sp
