Re: HP Reduction Request
The quota is full with 4 grade points. They want less stockers not more. Top dragster is much more fan appealing. Just watch the stands empty when they call Stock.

The guys are still going to be members and comp numbers users, in most cases. That is, unless they don't care about memberships anymore either. Are they relishing in de-evolution then? Who knows? Maybe Devo was right. LOL |

Re: HP Reduction Request
This sounds like a great idea to me.
I've wondered why a lot of 2-barrel BOP engines are not raced. When I look up the specs, it appears that some of these 2-barrel engines are only rated maybe 40hp less than a very similar engine which can use an 800cfm Q-jet. So, that brings up a question which should be in line with this thread. For most GM carb engines, 350 cubes & bigger, aprox how much less power is possible when only a 2-barrel is allowed ? It appears to me that a 2-barrel would be the limiting factor, whereas an 800 Q-jet would not pose a limit at all, since there are lots of 9 & 10 sec cars, using 750 & 800 Q-jets. So, considering this, what would be a good number to begin with, for most GM BOP 2-bl engines, that are not being raced ? Or, to put it another way, how much less should the initial factor be, as compared to a very similar 4-barrel engine ? Since I'm a Pontiac guy, I'll just use a '76 Pontiac 350 as an example. I just looked it up on the Class Racer Info site. The 2-barrel version is factored at 220hp. The 4-barrel version is factored at 260hp. I've seen the 4-bl version in a competitive car. Have never seen the 2-bl version. So, aprox how low would the factor have to be, to make the 2-bl version competitive, or at least run a safe amount under the index ? I'm assuming a properly built & tuned car. http://www.classracerinfo.com/Engine...3&MAKE=Pontiac http://www.classracerinfo.com/Engine...4&MAKE=Pontiac If this post is out of order for this thread, please delete it.
