even if your not the wrenches working on your car keep thinking out side the box on ways to improve your combo with the wrench hand ,,
no its not cheap but there are guys/gals out there running fast with minimal financial backing, resources and are not afraid to keep changing things to get the most out of there combo

this class is for people who are looking to go fastest with in the rules in place

keep working on YOUR STUFF

merry Christmas

Nice post but not applicable to the real world. I'll use SS for an example: take the tried an true 350/300 hp chevy. This combo most likely falls into SS/GA or HA or even into a GT combo. Do you really think this engine is going to run close to or even outrun an injected Firebird in SS or an injected 350 combo in GT You can "keep working on your stuff" all you want, but with the current HP factor you'll never get close. This is
where the AHFS doesn't work and NHRA needs to step up to the plate.
