Ported heads and a cam, it must be OK. How do you tell the difference?

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh boy.

As well they should be. I mean, they've all been flogged on for 15-20 years. They've probably reached the law of diminishing returns and have squeezed all the ET out of them by now. They'll be lucky to qualify in a couple years!

The same Mustang (E/SA) went 10.27 @ 117 MPH first round @ Indy, which is also well below the SS/JA index of 11.00. It appears that he's moved into Super Stock to avoid hits from the AHFS in Stock.

Back when I was "famous" (LOL) there were 3 classes in AHRA

GT-1, GT-2 and GT-3 - all were weight per cubic inch

GT-1 was the Hemi's and 427's mostly - 7lbs
GT-2 was enigines around 350 iinches - 9lbs
GT-3 was the small engines around 300 inches - 10 lbs

Only issue would be all had 4bls - the big engine cars did not come that way but no one cared

I still do not see how to distribuite the blown cars against the "normally" aspirated cars (throttle bodies)

Oh well not to worry NHRA is "on it" - right

LOL :-)

peace

From what I have seen ,read and heard, being outrun by a tenth would be palatable.

Yeah, it's the 5+ tenths spankings that suck so bad. LOL
