Talk about being under-rated!!!

Should it matter if it affects 1 or 100? I don't think Captain Jack is too happy! BTW, I am getting back into it and I'm doing it with a late model LT1. Its been beat on pretty good and I'll be in the middle of all the new cars, but I'll never be on here bad mouthing (you don't but others do) anyone willing to spend money. If it wasn't for those guys spending money, I wouldn't be able to finish my car.

After all the time, effort, and money invested into a cupcake, at the end of the day you have a cupcake. Sorry for Captain Jacks misfortune. His performance was stellar and he should be proud, he still entered knowing his competitor is at least 50 hp underrated. It's a shame though....

The shame is that if the run had counted on the AHFS, at 2.077 under the index the car would have only gotten 34 horsepower. Figuring that it should be factored where it could still be 1.00 under it would take a total of 60 horsepower to move it to Q/SA. And that won't happen for a long time to come thanks to the AHFS.

Yes , this combo is way underfactored but build one for 5 grand - I don't think so - Mr.Shaw is the master at getting the most out of these combos .I think our own Billy would have trouble getting one of those cars to go 2 seconds under for 5 g's .
