With the exception of Fred’s car the combos were not dominating just competitive there’s always one car in the combo that’s faster then the rest (Joe Sorensen). Then what happens bang 27 HP later you park the combo. It’s to late for me I have decided to convert it back to a street car. The AHFS has no wiggle room it’s just black and white with no gray area.

I know the feeling, of the 6-pak cars running out there most run the E-body combo which is rated @ 405HP and of the handful running the B-body rated @ 417HP it's tough to be competitive, in a heads-up with a CHEVY-396/400 or FORD-428/355 I'M DEAD !!!!!!!
I KNOW WORK HARDER!!!!! or GO FISHING!!!!!
