Competition Plus DP and CJ article

Arnold, that's a great idea, I am all for being able to run the modern high tech engines and components in old cars. You know that would be stepping on the holy grail of Stock though, not that there is much left to step on. I can here the purists now, that will ruin stock, lets not change stock anymore.

The new cars would no longer have an advantage. I know I would be able to run with new CJ's and DP's if I could run the same engine and components. Heck, I know I can get my car to work better. I'm sure most older stocker's could do the same. Manufactures would love us using the new stuff and might even get more evolved in class racing. Lower all the old combo's hp and everyone is happy.

Just image putting a LS7 in a F Body Firebird rated at 375 with a single plane intake and 1000 cfm tb, it would be a killer combo. Hell that would be a great combo for a new Camaro. Shipping weight 3200 and the LS7, way cool.

You wouldn't even have to add another class. Just take the hp rating and divide it by the shipping weight and your good to go. That's way to radical for you purists...... right?
