Lane, there will always be oddball combos. and guys who search for them.
Guys who do ,deserve credit for taking a chance by researching and perfecting those cars.
This 350/4bbl deal is a whole other story...There are 305 4 bbls that are rated over a 100 hp higher..
This is gross incompetence and ineptitude on NHRA's part. Believe me, they were not trying to increase participation with a budget combo...Since when did they ever care about that?
Meanwhile, they let a few token 50's cars back in, and then hammer them so hard with HP, they can barely run the index.
You guy should expect more for your money (notice I didn't say OUR money).

Sorry for going o/t , Louie...You are 100% correct, and still the man!
