Meh, point still is though, regardless of how quick one car was, they kept hitting all of them even though they trailed the field by 2 seconds. One can't deny the anti-ford bias in nascrap. Heck offer enough money and even an import like toyota can race a v8 rwd car...oh wait...LOL!

Back to the point though,
302 at 162 is .54hp per cube
307 at 175 is .57hp per cube
318 at 180 is .57hp per cube

and yet historically nobody would build a 302 because it wasn't deemed competetive.

Now at 143hp it's .47hp per cube and runs -1.03.

So, now AutoHPfor Slugs will bring it back up to .50 or .51 where it is comparable to a chev or dodge at .57
Sad truth is, the ford heads suck and stock, won't put out comparible hp numbers to a chev.

My 318 Slug at .47 hp per cube is 149.
20x149+170= 3150
I just went 13.25 at maple grove at 3165 which is -1.60 under the U/SA index of 14.85.


.50 per cube and .57 per cube is a huge difference btw

That's a slap in the face to the guys that have been running the class for 20 years working on their combos. Those fords shouldn't have been changed. That's horse****.
