So what is wrong with picking up an underfactored engine? Don't blame it on the racer; blame it on the lack of oversight by NHRA. If they paid close attention to the weight of the car at the scales and compared it to the weight it is supposed to carry for the class and also the MPH, they could figure out how fast the combo can run and figure out it is under factored.

Why limit the engine combinations if the particular engine was available from the factory? Again, you are trying to bring your idea of the Top Super Stock that you have been trying to push so hard many times?

How can you factor an engine when it has not even hit the track? Do you or NHRA have a crystal ball to figure out the HP of a combination before it hits the track?

Again, NHRA's lack of oversight.

Like I stated prior, what is wrong with picking up an underfactored engine? Many of those underfactored combos many times are not Chevy's but other makes of engines that only a few can make go fast.

Yes there are, and believe me, some are not factored low either.
