...combination currently eligible in the classification guide with 2 stipulations :
1. The combo must not have made one single pass under index at any national event, divisional event, or national open in the last 5 years ? (dormant combos) 2. The only racers that can submit that one request must have entered at least one NHRA race ( National, div. or Nat. open ) in the last 5 years What would be your pick ? I wonder how many new combos we would see ? My pick would be the 2003 Mustang GT manual trans @ 260 hp. That P.I. 2V modular looks like it has potential, plus those cars just look great. I looked thru some stats in the G/S thru J/S from years past and did not see where anyone has tried that combo.

How about 1969 Boss 429 in SS. At 20% off would be 344hp.

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.

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.

Nice.
And a more modern version that would be fun to try is a '03-'04 Terminator Cobra @ 390 h.p. and after reduction = 312 hp
