283 Times

Jack McCarthy · 12-07-2010, 01:05 PM

how in the hell, and when did the 283 220 get REDUCED to 217 ???

in other words all i get off with the 30cfm smaller carb, a small 265 intake and NO 459 cheater intake, plus an extra 2ccs' in my heads CC is a LOUSY 2 HP !!!

i asked for the 459 intake i was told i was already fast enough, if that is a reason, and wade gets -3hp as fast as he is ... now thats some of NHRA's finest work on fairness.

talk about being screwed by NHRA... 5HP was dismal after the intake ordeal but GEEZ !

captain jack

im sure this will be HEADLINE news like the inequities of the DP & Cobra's

Jack, trade you my 459 for your 3-speed!

your on wade !

459 guaranteed HP (21 in my case) and so far 3 speed has not been a huge issue, and the amount of money it will require (convertors , gearset changes etc.) is huge compared to a set of intake gaskets !

im sure you were grateful and not the person asking for -hp but how in the hell can NHRA give -hp to a combo (specifically chevelle) that has such good numbers even if it is just ONE car...i know i have no slugs to average against so i am screwed by the AHFS bull****
