2011 4.6 3 valve Ford Ok'd for stock

Billy Nees · 03-18-2011, 11:01 AM

So let us review, 2010 4.6l Mustang w/ 3valve dohc, ported, aluminium head, .476 lift cam, 2/2.5id throttle body, 11.00/1 compression, makes the same factored horsepower as that kickass, killer combo the 68 Mustang 302 windsor, 4v. Lets see, yup, both at 235 hp. It's impressive to me the amount of money and technology that went into this new motor to make the same power as one of FFFFords self acknowledged dogs.
And GM went bankrupt?

Lets face it who is going to buy and build on of these if it was rated correctly? For 75-100 Grand you should get a free pass to the top of the heap. If you want a great combo just buy all the NHRA guys a new car to drive around and then tell them what you want at what ever joke of a rating you want.

Lets face it, I'd rather convince Racers to take me up on my "Limited Time Offer".

Same group off people bitching about the same thing over and over again.

I think the new cars are great for drag racing.Who wants to build a 50 year old rust bucket into a NHRA Stocker?

NHRA is quickly making Stock and Super Stock nothing but a joke. Very sad that they don't realize they are shooting themselves in the foot, or maybe they do understand and they are just padding their bank accounts before they economy tanks our sport. That would explain why they are taking no action to try and promote sportsman racing. Maybe they just think we are dead men walking? In any case it just proves that their moto is still "show me the money!". Jim

Wally would be so proud

This combo has been on the books for over a year now.
