I think the factory rating on the 4.6 was 300HP, this one has 11:1 CR, Big Cam, Big Throttle Body, and special heads. Must be that NHRA thinks that stuff makes them slower so they rated it at 235.

Last week, Ford Racing tested a 4.6L-powered CJ at Milan Dragway with driver Jimmy Ronzello at the wheel. Modifications to the engine included their high flow CNC 3-valve cylinder heads, high performance intake, hot rod cam, and 65mm throttle body,

How the hell is this approved for Stock? Last I checked porting was not allowed in stock.

Well you can look for IHRA to add some more AA /FI classes to accomodate these engines as well so they will not start running off the slower reg class cars. Here comes more CC/FI ,DD/FI , EE/FI ect...........................IHRA will look out for you guys !!!!! Don't sell your stuff just yet....

Its because of the way NHRA treats the rest of the racers in stock elim. Just what we need is another new purpose made car with a bogus HP rating. Stock is a joke since NHRA has accepted these new cars without a correct HP rating. Now its working its way down onto the lower clases. What else would you expect for me to say? Oh Golly gee thats cool ! This is BS.

Danny, why dont you and Mike get your heads together and just jack up the HP ratings to where they belong? To many classes already. If your to lite on the first hit do it again until its right and if they get factored out of stock....make S/S cars out of them or has Ford paid off IHRA also?
