Stk/ss ahfs - Poll

Jim I think 1.01 under gets you a review.....1.15 under gets you instant Hp. This gives "some room" we all know that their are conditions (aka tail wind, great track, ect) that well sometimes it's an accident ( the 327/275hp guys still feel the affects of this) but that being said 1.15 now is 1.45 under the old indexes & that needs Hp! (my .02 cents)

I believe there are many cars under factored. But lets see, build a car, buy the trick trany, spend money on the rear so it is as good as it gets, spend time on the dyno, change cams, ring combos and have all the best parts. And your reward for all this hard work and money spent is you can run 1 sec. under. So lets add horsepower to that combo so it slows him down to run with the people who run slower on a budget. Its not a real hard thing to figure what combo needs HP. Lets try common scense on adjusting HP

Greg: The New AHFC approved by NHRA for 2011 now out. That's not what this survey is about. I just wondered what the general feeling between racers was. You know, What's a FAST run in your mind. I personally think -.8 to -.9 is fast under the new indexes, and that - 1.0 under is very fast. So with that said, I think the instant HP trigger based on the current and new system should be -1.1 under. That's purely my feelings. What's your's?

Opps: Sorry about the typo - 2011 AHFS.

When you get that new car out you just may find the too-soft (in your opinion) triggers won't be the problem you are expecting them to be.
