Allan as I read the NHRA poated specs the 2010 Super Stock 500hp has a Wipple in the specs.

The CJ's have an Eaton blower, that Eaton says they designed to produce adequate boost efficiently on a 7 liter engine, on a 4.6 liter engine. They have not even scratched the surface of the potential. The DP cars have a 1000cfm throttle body on a single plane intake that most Super Stock cars would love to have. There's more potential for flow there on a 5.9 or 6.1 liter engine than there is on any single carburetor engine in Stock, and for that matter, more than any 3x2 engine. Only the two 4 barrel engines can match them in flow capacity, and that's only the capacity of the carburetors and the throttle bodies, it leaves the intake out entirely.

All this silly talk of people being surprised about how fast these new cars can go is nonsense. Anyone who has built high performance engines for any real length of time saw the potential for 8 second performance in Stock immediately.

I told you before, and I'll say it again, the race package for the Camaro ain't coming. GM killed that program well over two years ago, I talked to the guy who started it and was in charge of it. The program is as dead as a door nail and all the people have been either moved to other programs or no longer even work there. What program was there never progressed past the information gathering stage. They started requesting input from racers on what they wanted to see, and the program ended less than a year later.
