Refactor my gremlin from 150 HP down only 15 HP to 135.Makes me a V/SA car,and a heavy one at that.I can go 13:50s in crap air.V/SA index is 15.50.See my point?And that's only manipulating 15 HP.How off are the new cars????????

When I was speaking of Development I meant that several name engine builders such as Jeff Taylor, Tilburg, Patterson, Barton, and Holbrook to name a few, that I have heard, have been involved with these cars to make them go fast. Don't you think that they are applying that same engine building principles to the new engines as the old ones? You also have several chassis builders such as B&B and MPR also doing cars. These builders know how to put together fast cars whether they are the old cars or the new ones. Do you understand now why these cars are fast. It is not allways about what the factories did but also the aftermarket people involved also.
