Now, what about many other combinations, that NHRA dropped the HP ratings, well BELOW the factory ratings? Guess nobody seems to mind when THOSE cars qualify at or near the top, not to mention are allowed to run a bunch of "accepted" aftermarket components, which are not available to some other engines, including the 302 2 barrel Fords, or for that matter many of the "lower classed" combos.

Hi Rory,
You know me..an occasional Ford guy, but this has been my problem with the wholesale de-factoring of the 302.
Why just them? What about everyone else getting back factory hp?
Fair is fair, right?
