For the most part it seems that the amount of posts a person has is inversely proportional to the amount of actual racing they do. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that, I'm just sayin'. You are definitely one of the exceptions.

Yep, my cars been in engine / chassis prison for 4 years now! I am going for one of my quarterly conjugal visits before Christmas. I'm sure I'll again hear, "gunna get goin on it real hard next week just after I finish this BBC that (fill in the blank) needs for the race next week..." story.
And Yes, I do spend a lot of time doing work on my computer. This is my version of a coffee break.

I would get my stuff back if I was in your shoes. That is WAY to long.

Besides it was always agreed to be a side job AND it was paid for back then, the REAL news is it's a good thing it was "outa sight, outa mind" as far as my better half was concerned a few years ago (as I was a starving Realtor with 4 kids). See, she knows things sell fast on craigslist when posted by desperate housewives! :eek:

in other words all i get off with the 30cfm smaller carb, a small 265 intake and NO 459 cheater intake, plus an extra 2ccs' in my heads CC is a LOUSY 2 HP !!!

i asked for the 459 intake i was told i was already fast enough, if that is a reason, and wade gets -3hp as fast as he is ... now thats some of NHRA's finest work on fairness.

talk about being screwed by NHRA... 5HP was dismal after the intake ordeal but GEEZ !

captain jack

im sure this will be HEADLINE news like the inequities of the DP & Cobra's
Jack, trade you my 459 for your 3-speed!

your on wade !

459 guaranteed HP (21 in my case) and so far 3 speed has not been a huge issue, and the amount of money it will require (convertors , gearset changes etc.) is huge compared to a set of intake gaskets !

im sure you were grateful and not the person asking for -hp but how in the hell can NHRA give -hp to a combo (specifically chevelle) that has such good numbers even if it is just ONE car...i know i have no slugs to average against so i am screwed by the AHFS bull****

i agree with u on both statements.
{maybe someone on the 283 stick side should send a letter to have the hp put back at 220}:cool:
