You say my motor is soft, it makes almost exactly 1.5 hp/rated hp. Assuming you're telling me the truth, you're about 43 rated hp away from that number. Just curious, how many different cams have you guys tried, I'm sure there is a lot to be found there considering there haven't been many overhead cam stockers out there until the last couple years.

The mustang in D/SA was -.005 on the tree. That's the only reason he didn't win.

Re: GM Releases 2013 bogus HP ratings at PRI show
That's my goal, too. As frustrated as some of the new car stuff makes me, I'm not going to let it keep me from doing what I love to do.

Re: GM Releases 2013 bogus HP ratings at PRI show
My feelings are hurt. Yall didn't even mention me. Anyway we will probably be in D,E, & F this year. I can't get to D cause I'm too fat, but I'm goin on a diet. And just what is wrong with drinkin beer at the races? Sombody got a probalm with that?

Re: GM Releases 2013 bogus HP ratings at PRI show
Run that car out a little more and you can come join the fun in D without even going on a diet! There's absolutely nothing wrong with drinking beer at the races. It's been more than once I've heard, "my drinkin' buddies have a racing problem!"

Re: GM Releases 2013 bogus HP ratings at PRI show
That's my point. The 352 was a '10 option and its equivalent is basically the 363 rated at 330hp. A 45 hp hit for '13. The 428 I believe was at 383 and now the 427 is at 425, a 42 hp hit for '13. I don't know if NHRA is behind this or if its Ford. I'll be honest. I cancelled my '13 BIW Competition Kit when I found out that the 5.0 N/A was going to be rated at 350 hp. That is the most N/A hp/cube engine I can find in the guide. After I heard that I was just going to make it a '10-'12 car and build a 352 or 428 but I didn't know if how much body panels I would had to change out to make a '13 a '10-'12. That's when I said the heck with it.

Re: GM Releases 2013 bogus HP ratings at PRI show
I mis -typed the cubic inches, and was told 312 HP. Isn't that the 12-1 compression engine?
I might need to build a Mustang.
