Give it a little more time and I think most of the cars will be the newer style FX cars. There is just too many advantages to them.

There was at least 10 Cobra Jets running the NMCA race in Joliet, IL last weekend.

Note that this combination has backed off from the original 450 cubic inches. The throttle body was also reduced to 4 x 2.00". So far, I think that there has been a real effort on the NHRA's part to keep these combinations as close to par as possible.

I don't understand why Chevy doesn't offer this motor in the COPO's:

It's only rated at 240 HP in Stock form? Isn't it?

Nope it ain't gonna happen! It's not about time. It's about personal preference and money. The entitlements from nhra are not enough. There were approximately 1,500 cars in Stock last year. No way the oems will sell 500 more of these cars for Stock or what's left of it.
