These this have all been around for well over 30 years.

It’s funny all you guys that have $5000 plus cylinder heads and $1000 plus intakes are crying because it not fair. You guys can’t win, new cars are too fast. But these are the same guys that have been flying in the past. These guys are the ones that have been cheating for the past 10 plus years(in the Cylinder head and intake department) . And now the tables have turned and you all don’t like it. That is the real problem with the new cars, the cheaters can’t cheat their way to the top anymore.

This has been my point. If you port a cylinder head and intake manifold, pair this with trick exhaust headers. And ultra high ramp rate cams. You increase air flow. If you put a turbo on the motor and adjust the boost higher you increase air flow. I was chastised on here for the unfairness of using more boost than the factory specs. While my heads, intake, cams, valve springs, lifters, and exhaust system was bone stock.

BTW. I agree that these new cars would have been rated differently if Farmer, Gregg, and Marty. Were in charge
