61 bubbletop with a 348/250. 250 minus 20%? 200 HP, yeah that would fly and look coooool.

Heck of a reduction. Why would anything get a 20% reduction?

LOL...Good try Mike, but I feel confident in saying there has been at least one pass under index with that combo in the last 5 years.

I'd be ditching the AMX and finding a '71 Opel GT. 20% off 75 HP looks pretty good to me!

This is a (just for fun) thread Ed.

The tech department may not like a bunch of new combos to have to study up on.
But then again, they might welcome the challenge ?

We all know that it is unlikely NHRA would allow a 20% decrease, but it does raise the question of what combo would be the most fun to try.

IMO, I feel that almost every combo that has not been tried in the last several years ( or never has been tried at all ) is because the combo is over factored to begin with and racers feel it would be a waste of time and money to try it.
