Default Re: Older Superstock GT cars with scoops

Not necessarily true on your last statement, Bill. Since the original CAR factors W/original engine are used to determine the GT car min weight, following that statement might not be an advantage. The fresh air packages can put you at the middle or bottom of a class minimum weight . Then there are others that will put you at the top of the class weight. Sure they might help overcome some problems, but is that enought to make a car that is at the bottom of the class weight run with another combo w/out FA that is at the top? I think you need to take a longer look at the situation & study the classification guide before trying to make abolising the Fresh air car factors an agenda. I Have been looking to the future in SS/GT and have found many freshair packages to be very versatile. With a hood change & HP change some cars can fit many classes. Some come in at the top, some in the middle & some at the bottom. A racer just has to figure it out. I don't think there is any overall magic in just having fresh air in GT classes. Esp the way the class is figured. My .02 after watching this thread develop.
