It's not the same because Nhra refuses to fairly rate these new crate motors. It doesn't take a genius to rate these motors. When you intentionally rate these motors 50-75hp too low this is what happens.

Agreed Greg! Lets get one thing straight here. It's not Lloyd or Larry's, or anybody else running this combo's fault that it's so bogus! It's NHRA's! So cudos to those who run it and, most of all, take care of the combo from getting horsepower!

Too bad some that run my combo, and the new one I am having built, can't do the same! I guess it's just too much fun going a second under on a bye run or red light!

What is the horsepower rating on Mr. Worner's car? What combo is Mr. Silveus' car? His cars are always fast, just curious if his combo is considered "bogus" since he went -1.08 under.

If you have seen and compared the engine specs with like factored older cars, and knew how fast many of these new cars have gone in private test sessions, you would understand people's problem with them. Can't blame the guys running them, but sure have to wonder about the NHRA people that accepted the supplied HP ratings. Do you realized you likely have not seen the better DPs run with all 4 barrels hooked up? They will run more than 1.08 under on 2 barrels.

I guess the 2 barrels are sort of like a certain olds super stocker with the block of wood under the gas pedal.

You simply don't know.
