For class running wide open i dont think the nose tripped the beams maybe just heavy and soft in the 1st half

That would be a way to try to turn the win light on in a very close heads up.

Maybe ed it was the final rd of class edmond redlighted and chris was wide open the race was over before it started no need to dip the nose 10.25 @ 132

Mickey same rules apply if the car is low enough to trip the beams while in the throttle and if its very close a little bump in the track could easily make it trip. Also if you want to make people talk like on here all you have to do is dip the nose and you can cause mass hysteria on class racer bc people really believe a firebird/camaro C car went 132mph at that et without tripping nose or spraying nos. Also, while this "shot heard around the world" took place a 396 outran a pretty good LS1 in Dallas. So, for all of you that think its so easy to make an LS1 go -1.20, I invite you to try because I only know a couple that USED to be able to go that fast!

They must have been tangled up and hanging low to trip those beams

Yeah 94 under was a good pass but 1.20 under was crazy 2 1/2 tenths difference DWA latino went 90 under emmons went 94 under far cry from 1.20

The HP has been posted. I looked at it and now realized that the Ram Air LS1 Firebird Formulas are now a natural CC/SA car. They cannot get to B/SA without being a Trans Am and the different deck lid.

Edited to add: The flat hood Formula is a natural B.

Kyle, I am pretty sure Trans Am came with both deck lids. It may be the non WS6 trans ams, but I have seen them both ways. They actually had plenty Trans ams that came with the flat hood as well.

Horsepower adjustments following the Jegs SportNationals
As the result of runs under the Automatic Horsepower Factoring System (AHFS) 1.20-second under policy at the Jegs SportNationals, the following change has been made.

The horsepower rating for 1999-2002 GM Camaro/Firebird, entries with the 346 cubic inch engine and a factory rating of 320-325 currently rated at 369 has been increased by twelve horsepower, to 381 horsepower; for Stock Eliminator

NHRA's 2012 Automatic Horsepower Factoring System outlines that any run of 1.20-second or more under the index will receive an immediate index decrease or horsepower increase. These changes are effective Sep. 24, 2012.



Is that basically the same engine as what is in a 2004 GTO in E/SA rated at 340?

It's exactly the same as the engine in the GTO (and Corvette) rated at 340.
