[SS Engine Guy]

Where would the GM 350/300 qualify if you took 70hp off? Stock and especially SS. Even with no fuel injection and no super trick cast race head?

Its not the cars its the factor. You could take just about any average car in any class and take off the hp that these new cars are underfactored by and have a top ten qualifier if they could loose the weight. That is what the old saying is about: (with the stroke of a pen).
