Re: The damage recently done
 
I wonder if these parts book parts are going to set a precedent. How about fast burn heads for the Chevys ? Or the stage 2 package for the buicks , or the ram air 5 for the pontiacs? How about the direct connection parts for the mopars? This whole deal is getting stranger and stranger.

It's fun listening to the whinning when the big 3 cars have been getting enhancements since the stoneage.Allow the dealer parts,if documented and put a factor on them and go on to whinning about something else,like PAYOUTS.

It happens that I know of some racers that have tried to get the Stage II and Ram Air V packages approved.

captain jack
its just a big joke anymore race now we will be gone soon .

Jack, the way that I'm seeing it what you want is an old GM Performance Parts catalog. You go in, find the listings and pictures for a Z-28 intake, carb and off road cam and just put them in the car. GM made them, Chevy sold them "over the counter" and would even install them for you! Seems logical to me! Let the AHFS sort it out.

They've been trying that for years. How's that working out for them?

Ya know Eddie, when you're right, you're right.
But "put a factor on them"! The AHFS won't fix them.
i think that 10 for the carb, 10 for the intake, 10 for the cam and 10 for the heads sounds about right. That way, somebody can build an AMX at 355 HP and see if it's competitive. If it's not then ask for HP back and the AHFS has fixed it the right way.
Sounds fair to me, want to start a new thread about payouts?

I like that.Now throw some more HP on all that "aluminium" (British pronounciation) in all those BBC chevies that need them because they can't find decent castings anymore.

Well the aluminum headed 396s do have a higher HP rating
