There is a hugh difference between the GM, EFI cars of the 90's and what we have now, can we say 12.5 to 1 comp in some, not for sale for street use, under rated by as much as 100HP, just to start with. The GM EFI cars didn't roll of the line and Qualify #1 without first doing a stock elim. engine build/ blue print, and at the time they came out they may have been under rated 20 to 30Hp, at most. The reason there rated where they are now is from 15 years of R&D. this current crop of crate engine / factory race cars are running this good with very little R&D in most cases, sure there are a few that have worked on them, there are some that are straight from the dealer they were delivered to and are running a second under or more on these new indexes. So when somebody compares the two they just don't know or understand what is happening!!!!
