Year End Horsepower Adjustments...
NHRA finally put them up and Ken posted the link on the ClassRacer main screen...some of the changes could have been predicted while others (particularly some of the "no changes") amazed me but then I don't have access to all their data...read and weep ladies and gentlemen.

Re: Year End Horsepower Adjustments...
Weep? I don't think so. I might open a bottle of bubbly?
I guess my trip to Reynolds paid off. That and a bunch of prayers. LOL Now it's on to the combo class.

Re: Year End Horsepower Adjustments...
I wonder who had the brass balls to get HP off a Cobra Jet, even if it is the puny one?

Re: Year End Horsepower Adjustments...
That would be me. Chad
Its not that good of a SS combo even at 229HP. Their is very little room for HP gains over the STK eliminator engine. A good SS 281 motor may make around 480-490 HP(which is only 50 or so more HP then a stocker one), maybe even 500 with the right cams. a good running 283 like Robbin browns makes well over 500 HP. Which is rated around 225 to 230 I think.

283/220 is rated at 237(I run that same combo just nearly as fast as Robin!)
