Below a 7.5 pw factor would make them a AA/stock only combo. No matter how low a pw factor is you can run AA/stock.

how close are these cars to being put in AA only??

8hp more will put the CJ Coupe under 7.5 factor

Yes a 439 hp factor puts the coupe at 7.38, but the convertible will be at 7.57 pw factor and still would be able to fit A/stock.

A Cour in Ford again? Cool. I was talking to your Dad as he and Jim Waldo were ogling Chevy stuff at the SEMA show last fall. I tried to shoo them over to the Ford booth to see "proper" stuff and he smiled and hinted at returning to Fords. I can imagine it'll be real fast.

Does'nt matter though, anyone who objectively looks at these sheets knows that there are several underfactored combos out there but it's that fact that this one is a Ford that has some people up in arms. To make this fair to some NHRA should make all cars run on a chassis dyno beofre elims and compare their et's with their chassis numbers, like NASCAR does; would that level the playing field for most pure stock eliminator guys who are trying to preserve the integrity of the class?

Its NOT the fact that its a Ford. It because this Ford has a BLOWER on it. Anytime a car has had a blower (57 312's) or a Turbo (Buicks) it has been a lop sided race until they were factored to where they belong. They will still be "KILLERS" in S/S (SS/D or SS/E) which is where they should have been classified to begin with.
