Re: End of year HP
Ron, a lot of guys use a throttle stop, a restrictor plate, or just weight to slow down. I have all that in the trailer.
I'm not sure watching incrementals would really help them much. I was 180 heavy most of last year, running it out the back door.

Re: End of year HP
Wow! I was not aware of that one, John. Had a friend, when we were street racing new Stock cars, with one of those that used to spank the 396" Chevelles. It was MUCH faster than the regular 275 hp engine. Now it's only 285? LMAO! Somebody pulled one on them. LOL

There is a lot of difference between those engines on the street in production cars compared to current prepped Stock Eliminator configuration. The 327-275 has almost as much blueprinted compression (11.9 vs 12.2), the same heads, camshaft difference doesn't matter much under current rules, and a much larger carb (Qjet vs 585 Holley). Add to the fact that the original 327-350 intake is not much better than a good Qjet manifold and that the original dome configuration restricts flame travel in the combustion chamber and it is easy to see why there is not much difference in current rated hp.

Re: End of year HP
Evidently GM gave some funny specs for the 275. I know of a couple other engines like that.

Re: End of year HP
Not naming anyone with this issue. The 1970 Camaro 350 was reduced 40 HP. People who run there cars should be flying Danny Byrd has the premiere 1966 Nova 327 350 HP and he can only go low 10:30’s. You’d think taking that much weight from a combo would make all the difference in the world.

Re: End of year HP
Funny how some defend big power reductions for one make and stand on the barricades shouting about other makes reductions yet they seem to run in the same ballpark against the index
The Chevy II must have the record for dropping classes A to E?? How far off we have come in the 35 years I raced the class,well,the last 15 anyway. All engines should be the same,Stick,auto,model etc. Models that need help should really be far and between. Loosing interest in this by the day now. Now GM people is even pissed about other GM combos,you see,we never gonna get anywhere on the internet. Peace out |

Re: End of year HP
We're pissed about the process, the people in charge of the process and the "buddy deals" that are handed out by the people in charge of the process.
