How come this combo never got hit? Not big deal, just wondering?

I believe that it has had an "adjustment" in the past. It started out at 200 horsepower and now it's all the way up to 207.

Chuck isn't racing a Caprice punishment enough? LOL>

Jim,

I've tried for seven or eight years to get someone out here to build that combination but no one seems to be interested. That little 265" FI motor has a ton of potential. I'd say that it's got enough in the bank to take several more -1.40 hits without being crippled.

Chuck,

It did get hit. Someone had a little tizzy about this pass

3634 R/SA Dave Campolito, Salem OH, '96 Caprice 12.776 14.35 -1.574

that was done with a "Caprice instead of a "Impala". You know the same deal as the incorrect dash in my car. I guess the deck spoiler and the grille are worth a ton of horspower. You need to get one for the cuda.
In any case a little whinning to Glendora and that horsepower just evaporated to just be put back on by let me guess?

Good one Jim ... lol ... Bruce, just shows the inconsistancy with the rules.
