IF the NHRA took incremental times into consideration and actually looked at the data they have it would help I think to straighten out the problems with the factoring system.

Hi Tommy, you're right on with your numbers. The 383 AVS I have flows right at 635 cfm and the 383 Holley 6191 I have is 724 cfm both done on my bench.

If there are both factored the same, why would you not run the Holley?

Inquiring minds want to know.😊

That's what I have, I don't have a Holley. I guess I need to build one this winter. My point was about why they are factored the same when there is a difference in cfm. That would be like having a lt1 & l98 factored the same correct? I'm a noob, I'm still learning lol.

The LT-1 and L-98 are virtually the same hp rating.


LT-1 is 279
L-98 is 270 Dish/flat top 275

Ok Sean the lt1 @ 279
L 98 @ 270
9hp
That's 99lbs off of my car at 11.0lbs per hp
Just sayin.
I hope that no one is being offended by this, I am just trying to wrap my head around a virtually the same combo being 99 lbs different. I am just using the 350 combo to make a point about factoring combos. I understand Jim storms deal with a body change, he runs his car out and takes the hit. I guess he should start 1000' racing to protect everyone running that combo and never show the potential. Rant over lol see you next season, I missed Christmas asking Santa Claus to give me some power off.....

It gets even more out of whack....

LT1 in Corvette, Camaro or Firebird 279hp
LT1 in GT rear wheel drive 295hp
LT1 in GT front wheel drive 299hp
