2011 4.6 3 valve Ford Ok'd for stock

[Owen S Quirion]

I think the factory rating on the 4.6 was 300HP, this one has 11:1 CR, Big Cam, Big Throttle Body, and special heads. Must be that NHRA thinks that stuff makes them slower so they rated it at 235.

Sounds about right. More bogus crap.

Last week, Ford Racing tested a 4.6L-powered CJ at Milan Dragway with driver Jimmy Ronzello at the wheel. Modifications to the engine included their high flow CNC 3-valve cylinder heads, high performance intake, hot rod cam, and 65mm throttle body,

How the hell is this approved for Stock? Last I checked porting was not allowed in stock.

Well you can look for IHRA to add some more AA /FI classes to accomodate these engines as well so they will not start running off the slower reg class cars. Here comes more CC/FI ,DD/FI , EE/FI ect...........................IHRA will look out for you guys !!!!! Don't sell your stuff just yet....

Danny, why dont you and Mike get your heads together and just jack up the HP ratings to where they belong? To many classes already. If your to lite on the first hit do it again until its right and if they get factored out of stock....make S/S cars out of them or has Ford paid off IHRA also?

I would love to do that ,but you would have to pick a veh at random maybe and dyno it and go from there. (who's gonna do that ? $$$$) But that would be expensive. Then everyone would want to dyno everybody in most classes.....Who really knows just how much HP these cars are really making.....(besides the owners)..?

Well you realize that the new 4.6 will make it into L/SA to but with seperate classes you wont have to run one heads up unless your run some NHRA. Makes the Unleashed Index classes look even better for the ones with old combos and the local combo races are another venue as long as there are no heads up runs. .

I am already killed at NHRA with the reg FI classes already combined with traditional stockers... He** ,i can't even beat the old carb cars in a heads-up..
Has anybody ever wondered why Prostock don't have FI instead of carbs.?
NHRA/ UNLEASHED , here i come (12.00 index) "Heads-up every round"
IHRA/ STOCK , here i come L/SA( still too slow to win a heads-up) lol
Local racing here i come Footbrake and S/SS combos
Plenty of options as of right now.

This is the sort of thing that is indefensible! Purely a decision that was bought and paid for! Jim
