HP off / HP on ??

Jack McCarthy · 05-31-2016, 03:53 PM

been thinking (dangerous) ....

how is it possible that one request for HP off was written and it was levied against (for) and ENTIRE motor family not just the individual combination...

therefore would it be unreasonable to expect as those FAMILY were levied HP penalties it would count towards the ENTIRE FAMILY that now is statistically a group per NHRA as a indicated by the aforementioned group reduction ?????

anyway can only get them hit as fast as i can .... got one at the SPORTS

captain jack

and thanks to Jimmy Harrison / Thomas Arnett / Deano for the #2 qualifer spot !!!!

I thought someone said it qualified for mineshaft conditions due to the 64 th car being .85 under?

-1.20 under still applies

Jack,
Congratulations for qualifying #2. That's a tough class you are in.

Jack, that run, 13.70, was really impressive!

Cheez Jack, the poor baxtids that are running that 75/302 combo are at 140 HP now! That's the same rating as my 230 inch straight six with a monojet!

Billy, 1975 Maverick fact. 122hp now 164hp. 1975 Mustang fact. 129hp. now 140hp. same motor. Maverick must be a slicker body? Kind like 2000 corvette Ls1 345hp and 382hp, 2000 Camaro & Firebird.Tom

Tom, It is a little more complicated than that. The longer wheelbase and more rear overhang of the Maverick allow it to pitch rotate better than the Mustang. This allows the Maverick to plant the tires better all the way down the track. Keeping in mind that we are only allowed 9 inch tires this is an important advantage. The addition of wheelie bars on the Maverick controls some of this rotation.
As a side note.. The Mustang(like the Chevy wagon) has MUCH better brakes.
I hope this clears up some of the confusion.

You just don't understand the whole situation. When you put engines in a Mustang, it becomes a whole different engine and must be considered separately. The '75 302/129hp engine in a Monarch or a Granada is 164, but 140 in a Mustang. The '76 302/133hp engine in a Monarch, Granada, Maverick or Comet is 138, but in a Mustang it's 133. See?!?
