Important if you run D-H/S or SA

I'm pretty sure aluminum cuts, welds, and grinds easier too.

I know. That's not worth anything either.

I haven't posted in years, probably will be years again until next time.
I just couldn't resist this time.
I also think the intake shouldn't been allowed, like everything else thats been going on in the past,but why didn't we start this renegade 10-15 years ago????
I can understand the pain of the Hills who has got their 350 downrated quite a bit only now to get molested by a mopar with a totally bogus intake.(if they use it)

I dont remember if the Fords were the first out but I do remember police Cams,Chevy Rods, Shelbys with single carb,Dual carb,big cam,small cam,high comp,low comp or whatever, 390s with oil pans touching the ground and then if you open the the hood it's "Edelbrock everything" + a Holley I am not sure about.
I remember from back in the day that I was thinking: the Ford Guys must have someone in the committee who really likes them alot.
Not to speak about the 396 aluminum head engine that showed up in the 90's,is there a single oem part on that engine now?
Is there really a lack of intakes and Carbs for the B.B. Chevys? Is the aftermarket intake worth a total of 0.0 and thats why it is on every car?
Still no mention of all above, but this Mopar intake really got people concerned.
This thread to me seem to be about all that injustice that happened in the past but happens to single out this one instance.

Flame Away , I am going into retirement again!

Aluminum rods and titanium valves will be here soon. See there will be a steel shortage so we'll have to go to aluminum and titanium. Oh and there will be no advantage at all using them 😉

I agree with you about the after market parts. As a friend of mine said about the 390 Fords, they are school bus motors. One thing you are not right about is the "Hills" getting their 350 motor down rated . I only built one of the 70 LT 1's after it was factored in 2002 and I had nothing to do with getting it defactored. No one in their right mind would run one at 360 hp. I always ran the 71-72 combination which was rated at 315 hp and factory rated at 330 or 255 depending on which year you claimed. I have never written a letter trying to get anything defactored.

Someone lobbied NHRA to allow an aftermarket intake manifold in stock eliminator. Correct?

Yet this manifold has ZERO performance benefit?

See you at the races,

Perhaps mentioned previously, if so I apologize, but maybe it was an "enhancement" to the Manufacturer? (of the part)

BTW The track where the d/sa record was set is a very very fast track.I was the next car down the track and was -1 plus under.He did everything right including,the combo, the day,the track, the weather and traction was the best I've seen any where.

you should be happy for them.

This run should receive automatic HP How much is it going to get and when??

I am happy for them. I congratulated Jerry. It was a hell of a run!

Hmmm..no comments yet


Kinda wondering about the LD4B manifold now on the 273 4bbls.
Same basic manifold as the one in question here.
No gain on that one either?
