Mr. Jacobs was running a 1990 305/210hp per the 2016 Nitro Joe book. That combo is now 253 in the class guide as of 8/29/17, as are a few other years of 305s. So I'm not sure what year he is claiming now at 235. |

Re: 1.42 Under!
Nitro Joe shows Mr. Jacobs with a 350 this year. I don't think he's running the 305 this year. Could be wrong though.

Re: 1.42 Under!
So nobody knows?
Why is NHRA not posting specifically which combination this is that received a 7.25% horsepower increase?

Re: 1.42 Under!
I haven't found it yet, either, Bob
Someone said it's in the book already, but not publicized . Okay, from the top . Is it a TPI 305? 88-92 Firebird and Camaro, right? Anyone know this much?

Re: 1.42 Under!
The 1990 and 1991 305/210 and 305/230 manual trans/stock head were changed from 235 to 253 HP for GT FWD on 8/29/17 according to the NHRA stock car classification guides. The 1987 305/215 is still 235 with manual trans and stock head. The 1988/89 are 245 from a previous hit. It looks like the 87 combo was mistakenly adjusted to 253 also then back to 235 as there are some differences in the chamber size from the 90/91 I believe.

Re: 1.42 Under!
Why doesn't everyone worry about their combination? You'd be surprised at how fast you'd run if all the energy was put forth into ones own combo! It cracks me up that everyone now has a front wheel drive GT with a 305 and a stick. C'mon, their can't be that many all of a sudden?
