It is wrong to suggest that the new cars should be adjusted by their true HP without addressing the true HP of every combination.

I know for a fact that a "good" stocker makes about 200 HP over it's factor.I also know that a new CJ makes 300 over (725-425=300). Imagine how fast these will be when these guys learn how to disassemble and "blueprint" them like the 200 over "good" stockers have already done. A perfect example of this is AA/S. Robert Pond's Fairlane is wicked fast(after 15 years of R&D) and Fezell put 3 tenths on Pond's record almost "out of the box". Congratulations for Fezell, but C'Mon Man... really?


I agree with this if it is done in a fair manner.




I have a Challenger sitting in my shop along with a Camaro. I am waiting to see what the NHRA does with these classes before I commit to building anything.

Currently, I run an LT1 Formula. We ran Top Stock at quite a few IHRA Division 9 events over the last few years (NHRA style). The racing was very close. I would love to see at least one FX class where these new cars can run heads-up.

I kinda figured you to have one of those cars. I really don't think your LT1 could run with your new Challenger no matter how fast it is. I know there are a few differences in the Top Stock rules, but I still figure that if you prepare your DP like your LT1, it's not even close.
