Hood Scoops to Comp

I own a comp car and I'm always happy if someone wants to join us, but I don't think NHRA should force the hood scopp folks in.

As for the expense of comp versus SS-I can afford a 4 cylinder Bantum altered and am partners with the engine builder in the project, so that is what makes comp affordable for me. But one of those SS/?S or SS/?M hood scoop cars built by East Texas or B and B is way out of my price range, to say nothing of what a hemi car costs. I'm not sure that there is any car in drag racing that costs as much to build as a hemi, except aybe what it costs to build an engine shop for pro stock and that seems to be the way to go in that class these days.

And Mike Carr-your explanation was quite good-only one error

-.65.to -.699 = .05

that should be -.650 to -.709 = .05

So you only get an A-.
