That's my point. It is almost 100cfm more. Why am I factored the same? It's a different combo. That would be like factoring the lt1 & l98 and all the fi 350 combos together right? I don't see where this an even playing field. I'm not mad at anyone, I don't want it taken the wrong way. That's why I ask questions. IF the NHRA took incremental times into consideration and actually looked at the data they have it would help I think to straighten out the problems with the factoring system.

Tommy, you're factored the same because at one time or another, someone with your combo was fast. I'm not saying it's a level playing field, but the rules are set, and meant to be manipulated within the current written state.

Hi Tommy, you're right on with your numbers. The 383 AVS I have flows right at 635 cfm and the 383 Holley 6191 I have is 724 cfm both done on my bench.

If there are both factored the same, why would you not run the Holley?

Inquiring minds want to know.😊

That's what I have, I don't have a Holley. I guess I need to build one this winter. My point was about why they are factored the same when there is a difference in cfm. That would be like having a lt1 & l98 factored the same correct? I'm a noob, I'm still learning lol.

The LT-1 and L-98 are virtually the same hp rating.


LT-1 is 279
L-98 is 270 Dish/flat top 275

Ok Sean the lt1 @ 279
L 98 @ 270
9hp
That's 99lbs off of my car at 11.0lbs per hp
Just sayin.
I hope that no one is being offended by this, I am just trying to wrap my head around a virtually the same combo being 99 lbs different. I am just using the 350 combo to make a point about factoring combos. I understand Jim storms deal with a body change, he runs his car out and takes the hit. I guess he should start 1000' racing to protect everyone running that combo and never show the potential. Rant over lol see you next season, I missed Christmas asking Santa Claus to give me some power off.....
