New HP

[Joe DeMarzo]

Mickey, the guide said the HP is up to 405, so the answer is yes.

Gene, I think they are just picking on the king, 19 hp is a lot, that is down right wrong.

Joe - a little better, but still doesn't seem quite right, anyway watch your converter now with the extra 50 or so pounds and tell me if it doesn't flash a wee bit higher - [looser]. seriously my last hit @ 417HP - 3920 lbs min I had to change converter and the new one was out of the question!!! IF I'M WRONG ICE CREAM ESKIMO PIE ON ME - LOL

I saw the same thing but the 375hp/429 got a 5 hp gift going from 371 to 376, don't quite understand how a slower combo gets hp and the faster one doesn't. I am not even going to get into how the AHFS is such a joke.

It's probably based on "Have You Driven a Ford Lately?; because if you do, you are going to get screwed.

He should have been able too avoid that..either he did not fully understood this "system" or maybe he just didn't care...by the way..FORD's get's screwed by NHRA???..myself i always thought they got almost everything asked for..

All of the HP adjustments are not in the NHRA Lucas site, go to your own individual classification and check it out.

Recognizing you are Chevy fan, let's be level headed here. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that the Pontiac is the fastest GT/AA at Vegas and Pomona. Runs faster than the Ford. Wins class and the shoot-out. However, the Ford gets the HP and the Chevy does not get any HP. It is clear there is something wrong.

No..not really anything like that...just pointed out that this was his own "doing" ..but i commend all people that still run thier cars all out despite a good chance of being hit and get other racers rage....if everyone did..this "system" would probably work a little better than it is now...but still long from perfect because cars/combo's with small counts would still be at disadvantage if they go fast..look at the 427 Chevy's in Stock...been at the top of the class for more than 10 years and never got hit once still i belive..gotta be that the averge are keept down by all those cars running!
