My Mopar feelings aren't hurt, just curious. Pro Stock is a joke. At least Alan Prusiensky has a HEMI under the hood of his Dart.

Sometimes...


As far as being competitive, if you go back to the first year of Fuel Injection, Roy & Allen were doing just fine...car went as fast as 6.54 that year, and qualified in the top half numerous times. No reason why the "Ford" couldn't run right there with them, since the Ford stuff was copies of what was already available to other manufacturers.

They were competitive until NHRA put the 10,500 rpm limit

There were two designs of Ford Pro Stock cylinder heads built; the mirror port head and the sequential wedge head. Darin designed and built the sequential wedge cylinder head for the Ford Pro Stock class platform. The belief by many is that the new cylinder head would have given the Ford engines the power to run against the GM engines.

Darin and Ford submitted the head to Glendora for approval and after having the cylinder head in their possession for some time and sharing it with other teams and cylinder head builders, it was rejected.
Two prominent Pro Stock engine builders that I know also told me that many of the features of Ford's sequential wedge head were incorporated into the current version of GM's Pro Stock cylinder head.

The fuel injection and rpm limit both came about in 2016. I stand by my statement.
