Do run against the likes of Shaul, Miele, Hawk, Horensky, and Conte every weekend? All combos as fast if not faster than the 396 which will most likely never get horsepower. No doubt the 396 is a good combo and probably deserves some hp...but their are others combos that should get it before the 396. So why shouldn't we protect it for as long as we can? You said it yourself... "With a committee.....". If there was a legitimate committee, we wouldn't have to protect it because all the other combos would be in line as well.

Dumping at 1000'! That is one the major problems with stock today.

Yep..I agree..there are others that are worse...the Index(or the 1.15) is whats wrong..but the other "great" combo's are not so many.. so they can control thier own destiny...stupid system!

Most 396/375 racers are able to run well under the index, getting hit 5 hp will not change this. Take the hit and get on with more important issues, what ever they may be.

Yeah, that should fix it all.

AFHS, this post reminds me of SURVIVOR. Be thankful you have an average, last time I was hit it was NOT during their scheduled rounds.

A very unfair system, slowly finding it's way to the masses............

It depends on the year, which heads (aluminum or iron), and which body.
