Competition for the Blown Fords & V10 Mopars and the Bow Tie

John, it says stock, and it's effective 1/1/12 so that is new.

What is the HP and class for the '64 Savoy with single 4bbl Hemi and what happens to the class when you put a 2x4 induction on it?
I have to imagine it gets a cross-ram, either OEM or MOPAR. I know of at least on single 4bbl racer that will jump right in. Heck, it's more legal now with a 2x4 than that 1x4!

"more legal"
Is that anything like being "more pregnant"???

Isn't it either legal, or it's not???

Jeff,
Has NHRA started to accept fiberglass and lexan for lightweight cars yet like IHRA does?

It'll still make, at it's absolute best, over 100 hp less than the supercharged cars.

Regardless, it will be cool to see some of those combos running.

Actually Bill, NOTHING is legal when it comes to the NHRA. Back when I was doing our ads for National Dragster I used the phrase "NHRA legal .134 wall tubing". I quickly got a call from the my rep telling me the word "legal" awas a no-no. Apparently legal involves laws and lawyers. The NHRA does not make laws, they make rules and rules are either "accepted or not accepted. Still makes me laugh to this day!

The single is 430, so 20 for 2 X 4, plus a cross ram vs. a dual plane. Two 770's vs 1 850

Did you know the real NASCAR 426 ran a 950 cfm? It was the 3 barrel a real NASCAR intake had a notch in the rear for the throttle blade to clear at wot.

I believe NHRA allows the 3v but you can use the 4v 850DP as an alternative.
