72 pontiacs+ 12 HP

Garry Dearn · 11-15-2016, 05:19 PM

I see NHRA added 12 HP to 1972 Firebirds with 455-Ram Air.Good run by Scott Burton,but it cost him! Too bad it wasn't between a couple of F/S cars!

Actually it was Brad's car. He went 1.208 under in the 2nd round. Had he gone 1.199 he wouldn't have gotten horsepower - .009 cost him 12 horsepower - WOW.

Ouch! That's a hard hit!

Look in the guide carefully. He will only be faster in the spring!

You're right Paul. Cheap fix.

Ram air hood 352 hp. non ram air hood 335 hp. Is hood worth 17 hp?

Question here.
So if that car is running f/sa. Will the index be lower or just that combo will have horsepower added. So let's say a vechicle that fits in f/sa will not have to worry about him running to fast.

He can run F/SA with both. RA car is still D,E,F, car.

Tom, I'm thinking Ram Air maybe worth it if everyone had to run factory air cleaner assembly.

Curious weight wise is the scooped Ram Air hood fiberglass rather than steel?
