Word is adkinson had aluminum head motor. Time will tell. Jeremy is spot on with everything. 12hp for lt1. If it is aluminum head it will get 14hp.

He was in C/SA at Gainsville so, probably iron head engine still..

Before either one of these combo's get hp on Tuesday, they both will get torn down in the barn... Right?

I remember Keith Lynch being torn down at the Chicago points meet when he ran under 1.20 on a qualifying run...

He passed and then got HP...

Both should probably have a rod and piston out, but NHRA will probably not tear either down. In my book, any run of -1.20 or more should require tear down prior to the combination being hit with hp. I doubt that would change anything in this case, but in some cases it may.

Well, sounds like politics to me....
