Jim, I think the European Settlers got to the promised land, got promised more tax, and returned, but many went Southeast to Florida. Only 4 in Phoenix? Maybe it's too dry for EFI? Being from a part of the country that considers 70% humidity dry, I just can't say. Ed, you need whatever Cooter got.

LS1? Yes, that's a softer deal. Maybe I can help that other car get some hp.

Ed, It is ashame that the Underfactored cars have an advantage. Do not blame the owners, Blame the manufactures and NHRA.

I don't blame the ownners. It's the reps from the mfgrs, and whoever at NHRA thought (or maybe just don't know that much about it) that the submited specs were OK. But do find it a little funny when some think they are that fast just because they work hard, not because of their bogus hp factors. Some are honest about it. Some are not. I think some may just consider themselve that sharp. Don't care who it is, how smart they are, how much money they have, or how hard they work, a legit-rated Stocker will never be the fastest SS car in the class that also has the most cars running.

You did forget to mention one important fact.....the fact that how much yourself and the owners of the new cars have benefitted from the underfactoring. I've "worked hard" on my car for over 30 years, but apparently not hard enough according to you.

We need hp off the new cars. Just too damn hard to run to the front. But, wait till yall see the new stuff coming. I think the new V6 will run U/SA. Hell everyone else is mad, why not Capt Jack. Yes, you can tell the warm weather and the season is coming around.

On the bright side, minimal budget for a new car is what, $250K to run the fast classes? So, maybe we can run the slow classes for $125-50K? That ought to bring a bunch of new cars to the track pretty quick. I need to go back to work.
