I think the 245 hp is better then the injection 250 hp. I have a friend with a 57 bel air body, like my car from the sixties, but not the 25,000 or so dollars to build it.

Does this mean it is a good time to dig my ole 57 chevy injection unit and the matched set of heads out of the garage, and advertise as "stocker builder up material"? Or better yet, does this mean that it is time to start searching the yards for a wrecked Impala SS car for stock. Seems like possibly a 303 hp LS4 v8 front wheel drive might work now as a stocker? AAFS?

Maybe the AA/FS could be another way of saying the Blossom Rule?

Nhra should allow Mechanical to Electronic Fuel Injection Conversions too....
that would wake these old cars up, and "IT's STOCK", sorta!!

Or Maybe, after 55 years, someone will discover or uncover some long lost, overlooked, under utilized superseded parts, factory memo and / or specs that would make these old bricks super competitive.... stranger things have happened, right?
