2011 ahfs

Maybe I don't understand this. Go easy, I'm just an old dumb Okie, but if one guy who works real hard is really fast, hits the review trigger, but nobody else runs far enough under to get the average down, there is no factor change. Right? Doesn't the engine's average have to also be fast for a hit?

Evidently I don't understand it, since everybody is so unhappy.

Yes, it has to average -.850 or more to receive a hit.

"To more clearly illustrate how the AHFS program affects a given combination, the following is a hypothetical evaluation in Stock class for a 305-cubic-inch, 215 factory rated horsepower, fuel-injected Camaro during a review period:

Two K/SA Camaros running this combination ran 1.214- and 1.187- second under the index, triggering a review. As per the procedure outlined above, the overall engine average is analyzed first. Upon reviewing the engine average made by the 305/215/241 FI combination, 10 runs had been recorded (2 in K/SA and 8 in L/SA) with a total engine average of .845-second under. Because the overall engine average did not hit the required 0.850 under, the combination did not warrant a horsepower adjustment based on overall engine average.

The next step, per the procedure outlined above, is a class/engine review. The class of the car that actually triggered the review was K/SA. The class review revealed that K/SA had a class/engine average for the combination in question of 1.201-second under, therefore surpassing the 0.850-second-under requirement and signaling a horsepower adjustment for all 305/215/241 FI Camaros."

So just because a combination is "flagged" for review, does not mean it will actually receive horsepower.

What about the reduction? What did you get for the answer to the example listed? Is it me or is it a bit off?

Thanks

Thanks Mike, that is how I understood it.
