Well the 2010 370/385/399 manual combo is factory rated at a 8.02 weight break and now with it at 399 hp its a 7.73 weight break which makes it a natural CC car so it could add weight and run A.

The 2010 392/375hp manual combo has a weight break of 8.53 for a natural B car.

And then the 2011 512/450hp manual combo is factored at 7.50 for a natural CC car which can add weight to run A.

I don't know how to drive an automatic so I'm looking at the stick combos since I would have built a stick CJ. To me it looks like they all could run A and the 392 can run A, B and C.

It's easy. Just keep one hand on the steering wheel and one hand on your iPhone so you can check the NHRA app or 1320.go for your reaction time. Makes driving the stripe a little easier.

Jebus Mark, it's.....

Heck yeah! That way I can rope you into a group text with Pedigo. That is where the real trash talking occurs.

I sorta had RJ included, but dammit he types slow.

Must be Mark's "Race Face"! Jim

Guess you wouldn't want to build an actual off-the-street 5.0L. Just saw a Ford spot on TV last night, talking about the new Mustang. (I love them btw) And they said it was 420 HP? :-)
Wonder why NHRA accepted a lower number for the crate engine? LOL

Kyle, don't be telling that! :-)

Ed that's the funny part. The street cars aren't even in the guide. Not that I would build one at 420. But the ones that actually come off the showroom floor with a VIN you can't race LOL.

Thanks for the heads up on that Kyle. I'll have to figure out how to do that between gears.

Kris, they must actually make that much. As heavy as they are kids are very easily putting them into the tens in street trim.

And us automatic guys like Kyle & I don't worry about that, we have E-Shifts or air shifters.
Won't work for you stick guys. LOL
