some racers think NHRA will clamp down on the Showdown class and say "no more engine combos"

Wouldn't that make it more important to get a new 18 combo and the 5.4Lw/4.0L class legal ASAP just in case they close the book?
Ford thinks that the 5.4 is yesterday's newspaper. They don't use it in production vehicles any longer. They are only interested in the 5.0 because that is what they are selling and making money on. Sad but true.

You were right on the 2018 engine combinations. Should have been put on the books months ago. We are 60 cubic inches down from GM and Mopar. That's like running on 7 cylinders.

Ford may be down 60 cubic inches: but up 16 valves, up 3 camshafts and down 16 pushrods. Based on MPH, I think all 3 brands are pretty equal, traction and 60 foot times seem to be the issue.

That's what I've been waiting to hear! Anyone know anything about the CJ that Bo Butner is supposed to be getting?

Cubic inches is torque, cylinder heads is top end hp.


Torque is your ET, top end HP is your MPH.
Along with 100,000.00 dollar transmissions
