The 2010 Mustang with the 352 remains at 295 HP....what a joke! After running 10-teens in E/SA at Indy. Yes, it got "hit" afterwards, but not enough to make a "dent". Sorry, just venting my frustration.

Thumbs down Re: new hp

Its really sad that the NHRA will not be pro active on this crap. They could fix the problem and complaining easy but they just turn a blind eye to the problem. In time some will just give up and return the cars to the street or try to sell out. A few will buy the new stuff if they can afford it and continue on. Then the NHRA will wonder where all the race cars and members have dissapeared to. The ones who will stay with the older combos will just hope they dont have a heads up run with one of these under rated combos during the eliminator. Class dosent pay anything much anyway so qualifyng will be the other issue of concern when and if they have more than 128 cars such as Indy. We will all be dead or to old to care anymore when the AHFS catches up.

The Drag Pak 392 is rated at 375HP. Maybe they should put an SRT8 motor in them...

The cam stayes the same lobe lift.
If the rocker ratio is increased from 1.60 to 1.65 will the valve lift
1. remain the same

A few questions for Dan.

The specs sent out for your engine in 19?? were what they were. Did the factory technican sending the specs back then know what your engine was built with? Would you like to have a new rocker arm ratio on your engine? If so just call the factory and see if you can get an increase on your engine's rocker arm ratio and cam lift.

I'm sure it would all be readily accepted!

The rocker arm ratio was a missprint in the original specs. It should have always read 1.65 to 1.

The cam lift should have remained the same as originally printed as it was not a missprint. The cam lift as originally printed has passed teardown because the engines were built to the old spec using 1.65 rockers.

DP racers got an early christmas present on the new cam lift.
