Re: Horsepower on Tuesday
James, it'll be interesting to see if they consider Camaro and Chevy II same platform. Back in 2016 when Gullett got the 327/275 stick hit, they didn't put hp on Camaro, but in 2015 when 350/300 stick got hit they put it on both platforms. Shows how consistent they are.

Re: Horsepower on Tuesday
Just to be clear i'm not saying these cars would not have passed a teardown, But there needs to be checks and balances by NHRA.
Whats to stop someone from putting a bigger carb or throttle body on for a heads up run if no one is going to check for this kind of stuff.

Re: Horsepower on Tuesday
The Nova should not get the added HP. 2 years ago when I got tagged 4hp on my combo the Camaro's didn't. In the past they were grouped together so I asked Pat why in the past when the Camaro's were the cause of the added HP the Nova's got it as well or vice versa. He told me that in the past that should have never happened as the Camaro is a F body and the Nova is a X body hence different platforms. Hopefully that still holds true.

Re: Horsepower on Tuesday
Charlie, you are right. We all have too much invested to let self policing
be the order of the day. And, like you, I am not suggesting anybody wasn't right, but a check of head numbers, intake & throttle body numbers would be in order. We have gone from full tear down to nothing, there needs to be a middle ground. J.R. Last edited by J.R. Haddad; 04-16-2018 at 12:48 PM. Reason: correction |

Re: Horsepower on Tuesday
