It is interesting that some complain about horsepower rating when the entire HP rating system in out of whack..... As an example....our Super Stock car is rated at 356 HP....yet it produces over 300 HP more on the dyno (and still slow).....similar for our stocker. So, it is my best guess, that a 396/375 stocker is around 630 HP on the dyno, but rated ......what?

Based on the car count this year at Indy, why would the powers to be want to change a thing? Back in 11 before his S-2000 was done, Carey Bales got in the show in my dakota in superstock when he was #143 out of 144(#144 got DQ'd). This year there were what 190 cars in SS, and what 200 in stock? Perhaps the $1 dollar question would be what is needed in stock to get full fields at all the other races. AHFS has to apply to all or none though especially at Indy. Eric

Joseph Teuton Member Join Date: Mar 2012 Location: HOUMA, LA Posts: 318 Re: Should the MOPAR V10 DragPak get a 3speed? I guess some people need to read their post before they submit it. Its kind of funny when you read a post but yet you have no clue what they race or have ever seen them at the track. We do have a couple of 3 speeds that already fit and we have tested. Its up to NHRA to legalize it. On not being able to make a powerglide run for us...well we did go 9.26 already with it. Its not that we cant get it to run for us, we just want what everyone else gets....a 3 speed. I dont believe a mustang has been sold from Ford with a 3 speed yet. I know they are in the development stages of it but as far as I know none have been sold with one yet. So that is why we are asking for one. __________________ JOSEPH TEUTON 4044 STK,SS,SUPERCAR Eric Meryfield, I copy and pasted this post from a older post. This is where Teutons were asking for the 3-speed to be legalized. This is not to be a slam on the Teutons, I new that the new drag paks guys got it legalized. After a search on the forum I found this in a very long post on this subject

Huh?? I'm lost? The the v10 drag pak was the only of the drag paks to come with power glides.
What does the above post prove?

Sorry Joe, I was trying to prove to Eric Maryfield that the drag Pak guys were the ones who got the 3-speed rule changed. If I remember correctly the V-10 was powerglide only and you guys got the 3-speed rule change to be competitive with the CJ and COPO in the factory Shootout.

The V10 torque monster is very fast without the 3spd - we recon - only 3 hundredths, if it hooks up. Lots of on track - converter and 1st gear ratio research is required - for very little benefit. Your dad and I talk about this very important science a lot - LOL Ron
