Or maybe it was the HUGE HP increase Garret found AFTER the Carb was installed many races ago? Garret's run that Holley for a few years in IHRA (as it was accepted about 8+ years ago). Im not going to say what unleashed more HP because it''s not my position to say so. But he's teamed up with Adkins and he ain't no slouch on the dyno! The Holley is good but it's not NOS.

When I was racing my car a low 10.50 was about 125+ mph, was the mph slow for everybody at Columbus? Travis what was you mph at the 10.46? Tom

Tom, Since I am from Nebraska, I am going to chime in. As I recall, you race a 283.....Nebraska has no "sea level" tracks. Smaller cube engines kill MPH more than ET at altitude. 125 MPH should be around 10.35-40 at a sea level track. Correct me if I am wrong (it often happens....just ask my wife)....

And Lots of people still spend LOTS of money to "enjoy" the events knowing the changes and the politics will always be the things which upset 90% of the racers. The only thing which ties everyone is the fact they dream of being the lucky 10% next season when their motor gets aftermarket heads, a bigger cam, a 3 speed trans or they win the lottery and buy a Mustang..

The little lt-1 's have been increased from 275 hp to 346 hp over the years. Maybe they will give us a 100lb. Back. Right' biggg

Power glide or bogus t350 or t200 trans that was not even a gleam in Chevrolets eyes back in 1957?
