I think it's about time to bring this one to the top again.

Re: Minus 76 Horsepower
 

'68 Pontiac Firebird Sprint 250 OHC 6 cyl. Currently @ 215, less 20% gets you to 172 hp.

Big camshaft, nice intake, good exhaust situation, belt driven camshaft, Quadrajet carb...lots to like.

Currently it's a 14 lbs car @ 3080 lbs. (incl. driver) so that's not going to work. But at 172 hp and 3080 (incl driver), it's a Q/S deal that could go R/S (stick and auto).

Would likely give those 318 2 bbl Darts and Barracudas fits.....;)

i think that it's about time to get after NHRA about this again.

Sorry ..They've been busy superceding 40 yo obsolete intakes.

(Couldn't resist..Merry Christmas)

Lot of us Mopar guys are holding out for metric 200's, e shift of course.

Maybe it's time that NHRA started superseding the tech dept. with people with common sense and a working knowledge of car combos.

1963 Thunderbird 390 @ 340 hp less 20% = 272hp. Two things I like a bout the car, VERY COOL, and most important is when the hood is open all you see is carburetors.

Suppose you'd have to tether the fender skirts?

Re: Minus 76 Horsepower
 

I'm sure Mr Paul could put you a couple of solenoids in a 727 if you can't get the 200 approved!

Mr. Paul makes an E-Shift for a 904 and 727.
