Hopefully, this inaccurate GT rating will be taken care of at the next couple of races. Come on Mr. Layer you can do it and so can a number of others. Soft combo it is.

Sure. Plus who likes people that strut around acting like are really doing something by running fast with a soft combo that is underfactored by about 20HP. The 305 combo, shelby combo, pontiac combo, you can build them and a few other combos to run fast with your eyes closed. If you're running fast with a combo that is factored correctly...now that's a whole different story and most racers appreciate that.

THEN GET OFF YOUR WALLET AND BUILD ONE AND STOP COMPLAINING. WHY WOULD YOU BUILD A COMBO THAT IS NOT RATED WELL??? TO ME THATS STUPID, BUILD THE SOFTEST THING YOU CAN, IT ALL COSTS THE SAME. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU CAN RUN GT IN ANY BODY STYLE.

Mr Johnson
I know a lot of S/Stk people, but not all. I'm sorry but I don't recoginize your name. Just to satisfy my curiosity what class and/or combo do you run?

Stefan my man, lay off the cap button. Mr. Layer, just do a quick search, you'll find my name, I run several different classes.

The initial point is that if a combo is hit with HP in SS, then this same exact combo should be hit with HP in GT. Second point is, it's not that impressive when you run fast with an under rated combo. Take, and I'll use some older motors here, the 350/300, 350/255 or, 350/624 or even the 400 chevrolet..these motors have been factored several times. When someone with one of these combos runs 1.15-1.20 under....that's impressive. Doing it with the 305 or say the 350 fuel injected deal that's about 278 HP right now...that's not really impressive.

you still havent answered the question, what combo do you run, what division and what kind of car>??

stockracer · 05-23-2007, 03:13 PM

I tried to search the above name...No results at autoimagery.com...If youve raced at a national event in the last 5 years you will have a pic on there...Maybe there is a different way to spell your name...It may not impress you, but that probably wasnt his intention...

Guys- It's pretty simple to find out if somebody really has a class car nowadays. Simply go to the wonderful dragracecentral web site and type their name into the search engine. Of course, that's assuming that they are posting under their real name.

Jack Pot!

Oh I race, and have probably won more races than you guys. The point of this conversation is under rated engines and why doesn't the factor change when a combo can run GT or SS. More interested in the reasoning on the last point.
