The combo must be a little soft to begin with because all these cars 2008 and newer are under factored to begin with.
Can’t help but too go too dam fast
That’s the way system supposed to do
And with no mineshaft
It’s gonna get real ugly especially for these newer cars now
There are know good running combinations safe now
Where gonna get it in the shorts

I still say lowering the indexes makes more sense.

Push out what a few cars that think stock and super is easy ..like bracket racing
Back when they lowered the indexes I had bought a ss/bs Monte Carlo
Car ran 3 tenths under
Then the next year I’m 1 under guess what a geinus like me did I bought a motor and a 3 speed trans
Class Racing not for the WEAK
You gotta adapt

Talking Re: NHRA hp updates

If I can’t run more than .65 under when I get my first stocker finished do you think I could get the fast cars to put up my entry fees to keep the average down? Lol

If you can’t run at least -.650 under at a race it will have zero affect on the average. It will be like you were never at the race according to the AHFS.

Bullet is making new slower camshaft designs along with Total Seal "No Seal" piston rings. They come with NHRA's seal of approval. They cost more than what we have been using but there are Guaranteed to slow you down.
