Now everybody is bitching about the cj's but I wonder if the 396 combos and the LS combos were dyno'd in front of the world just how far off their factored hp would be from real world. Now I know that there's not a chevy guy out there that has the balls to run there combo all out -1.3ish under and then take it straight to the dyno for the world to see just how far off their factored hp is from their real world. So you guys just keep bitching cuz thats the easiest thing to do. Merry Christmas everyone.

Make a funny? I don't think anyone will buy that line. Tell you what, I'll bet you the CJ is about 100HP further off from their factor than any 396 or 427. And 1.3 under? The CJ will run 1.5 under, off the gas at 1000 feet. The Challenger will run 1.4 under in bracket mode, easily.

I hope like hell the Chally can run farther under than that (not now but in the next few months)....(sorry for the ignorance "Bracket mode" ? I just looked at my tuning software and I dont see a checkbox for "Bracket Mode".....yes that was a joke...) If youre talking trim what weight/setup for "Bracket" ?... just trying to learn he be nice....

Cheers

Bracket mode is a "soft" tune up, usually the engine is warmer, the timing may be lower, maybe a little extra ballast, launch RPM is lower, meaning you're set up to run consistent and go rounds, as opposed to getting the last little bit of ET out of it.

Racers that are already competing in these "new" car classes, are already vested deep with the car they already own. If you were wanting to build a '69 Camaro for AA, A, or B, you would already know that to run with guys like Sorensen, Richard, Defrank, Shaul, to name a few, you would have to realize that you're going to spend over a $80,000 to field this car. This number might be light, unless you're going to do alot of the work yourself.
So the new car prices are not entirely out of line for a very fast, high class car. IMO
