No, that's not the way it works. If you run the aluminum head, you have to carry the extra weight but you still run the same natural class.

I know that. What I said is it can get confusing. I can understand how it could happen.

If you have a 67 GT500 you better have the correct info from the engine builder
Did I read the guide right?10 different hp rating depending on the parts you have installed, and one replacement head adds 37hp,close to the stock head in performance??
Who let Stock become the joke it is today?

Larry, don't you think that there's enough blame to go around to ALL of the manufacturers (Shelby is considered a manufacturer by the NHRA)? AND more than a couple of well-connected engine builders.

Rods @ 2.200 instead of 2.437, crank, cam with more lift than the 427, Dove heads, 68 PI alum intake, 735 to 780, Carroll whored it all up

10 doesn't sound like to many, I counted 17 for the 396 '69 Camaro!
Don't pick on me until I get it finished, hopefully some day. I started from scratch which was a bad idea. If you want to know the combo I picked, it will be a natural A car and yes I'm using 2.200 rods from the approved list.

I've watched this transpire for a while now, and it finally looks like the racers have had enough. Based on what I saw in Division 3 recently, if your sh**s bogus you're gonna get called out. For good reason. Look for more of this throughout all divisions. If NHRA won't do it, look for their hand to get forced by the racers themselves.... It's our option !... If you're a honored one to be selected in a protest, tear it down and take the money, or pull your pants down …. This always has been a part of stk/ss racing! #itsnotbracketracing
