[QUOTE explain the 30+ hp reduction jan 2014 on the 302 2bbl fffords ???????

Jack, if it’s any help, I have personally given back 13 of my 30 hp gift! I started as a natural U car and now I’m a natural R car. If I keep this up I’ll barely be able to run the index in another 5 years.

Your friend in horsepower.

That's right about Jethro. "Hey Uncle Jed!"

Are your sure all the HP came off at once, or was it multiple reductions over many years.

really funny that one / two combos in D/SA GOT -30HP AND 9632 people care enough to view respond to larry's post ....

but when over 300 combos of 302 2bbl fords get -30hp (all fit u/sa itslast v-8 class) no one but me is pissed ...

minimum 2-3 top 10 qualifying spots at indy including several #1s but its only me beating a seemingly dead horse

Unfortunately Larry !! Archimedes couldn't help you or anyone with this "math problem" We live in the world of upside down !! How is it possible ?? that a 66-283 with more compression an a bigger carb rated at 1 HP less than a 60 -283 ?? or a steel head 69 Camaro rated more than an aluminium head engine ?? Not to mention those FFFords who defy math as we know its !! Cheers !!
