What combo did Keith Lynch/David Wertman enter in SS/JA at Vegas?

Tony Curcio · 10-31-2010, 10:41 AM

They qualified in SS/JA at 10.16, which is 1.10 under the altitude-adjusted index for an 11.00 lb class, and therefore 2.10 under the equivalent Stock index.

Is this the 305 HP engine that was running in F/SA until about a month ago? (now factored to 360 for automatics in Stock, but not stick, nor SS)

Is the car entered in SS, unmodified from Stock Elim trim? Could they have run 10.1's in F-G/SA before the recent factoring? If so, they have really shown their hand, which is commendable. I suspect nobody has really shown their hand with the 275 HP version.

Perhaps like the LS-1 Chevy, these engines won't benefit as much from the extra modifications allowed in SS as a traditional stocker will. But it seems to me that at least the stick version should be factored about the same as automatic, even if no one has run one yet.

I have to believe that the Horsepower committiee has observed these same things, but I though it wouldn't hurt to post, just in case the SS entry flew under their radar.

Time will tell whether these engines pick up considerably in SS. I think there are a few that will be out next year. I am not sure if there are any more 275HP DPs out there yet. According to Keith's increments from Noble, I am sure it's the same as the car was there.

I believe this to be true. With a bunch more weight in the car. I think they have to be over 3500lbs to run in SS/JA

Tom Moock · 10-31-2010, 01:01 PM

Boostedf22c, weight C/SA = 3410, SS/JA = 3525 only 115 pounds Tom

boostedf22c · 10-31-2010, 01:39 PM

O yeah.

A few weeks ago in Maple Grove they were at 3350 in B/SA. I forgot they ran C/SA the next race after they got hit.

Sonny is building the best one for SS/JA. The 5.9 @ 275 hp, 3195 lbs.
That combo should never run a ten.anything.

stefan callender · 10-31-2010, 03:48 PM

Should be a 9.30 SS/JA
