How would you fix the ahfs

Not everyone with one is flyin, and the two times it went under a second this year have been at a factored track and in very unusual weather conditions in Houston. It was like 65 degrees with a huge tail wind. Talk about a self serving agenda hidden under the guidlelines of "fixing" the AHFS.

Hey Hagen you must be a friend of Larry's otherwise I don't think you'd be calling him OLD, not sure what you are trying to say 44 less cubes two less barrels and carry 15 more HP, I bet Larry would love to bolt on a set of your heads and intake & carb, and I'll put money down that he gains at least 20 and in some cases 30 more HP and we won't talk about the after market goodies. Gary that sixpak doesn't perform as well as you may think and the 906 heads are a far cry if compared to the heads OEM or even better after market you have to work with, and this is why you only have a handful of people running the sixpack combo.If your comparing apples to apples, DON'T because a 396/375 can and will make more power, and I would guesstimate at least 20 more HP and that's conservative!!!SHOW ME A SIXPAK THAT CAN RUN IN THE 9's??? Last I looked the 396 w/steel head factor was 399 and w/aluminum 405, and Larry's sixpak factor is 405 don't see the difference, now if you want to compare that same combo in a B-body I'm factored @ 417 so stop teasing us! ? ! ? ! ? . . .

Ole is a figure of speech that I believe is used to say "Look at this Guy". Not old. If I wanted to call Larry old, I would have used the word, Old. Also, if someone went fast enough to get your same engine 12 more hp in your car, should it not be just as fast in a smaller car with a shorter wheelbase and a 150 lb less shipping wt? Which is it, Is it fast enough to get hp or is nobody running one because they can’t make them work? I did go off of the 390 factor, and just realized that is the Stick version, so your right it’s at 405 in auto. So how did it get to 405 in auto, but stay 390 in stick? I really have no clue, but I can only assume somebody went fast with one.

Larry decided to call out a combo that in no way needs more Hp, and did it under the guidelines of fixing the ahfs. There are about 150 other combo's out there that need it before this one, but he chose the 396 because it barely went over a second under in two very rare and unfair circumstances by two really, really fast 396's. He did it only because it’s self serving. If he is going to uselessly call out a combo, I'm going to call him on it. Sorry?

Gary OK so we do agree on one thing that Larry isn't old, tall maybe but not old!!! The difference in factored HP is because I can only think of one guy out in div#7 I think his name is Watts running a stick, so that combo hasn't really been flogged like the automatics have.I never said that your combo needed a hit, but I would love it if they dropped me some.I run enough of you [guys/396/375] and know that I don't have enough of JUNK under my hood!!!
