HP Adjustments on NHRA.com

RJ, you are correct. Us Mopar people are a bunch smarter than you Blue Oval folks. Now that we got that out of the way, I might have to look at my old Super Bee. It's getting closer to those 396 cars. We were about a half second behind. Maybe I will just stay in the new cars. Less controversy there. But your new car needs hp.

Yes you are correct we do need more horsepower to keep up with you guys.

I wonder how many illegal motors have caused legal motors HP?

Ha, can't count that high.

They're not illegal, they're undocumented.

FJ, sorry but AH cars are no where near the stock chassis that came from the factory. I have heard the steering is moved as well. Then there is the motor. MANY MANY variations from what was allowed in SS 10 years ago. Those motors would make a FWD run better too. Reason they don't complain is they are ALL one Chassis. All one motor. All same motor rules..... An expensive Mod class just called SS. Again fake HP ratings but it doesn't matter since they can ALL do the same stuff to the same parts...
If all 69 Camaros with 350 PG you would still hear NO COMPLAINTS.. Use the factoring system and the any chassis deal and havoc results.

I would guess not many. There are very few disqualifications during tear downs. I think most Stock and Super Stock racers try to stay with in the rules. At least this is my observation. There is also the protest provision in the rule book if you suspect someone is illegal. Put up the cash and they have to tear down.

That ship left the port many years ago.
That is the reason why we have ported heads in Super Stock, bogus port volume numbers and much more that has been allowed throughout the years.
