Absolutely the right way to fix things!

And, in Super Stock it is still 275 hp, four less than an LT1.

I'm telling you people only care about the hp factors.
No, I'm not the fastest car in my class.

According to the newest Nitro Joes book, the fastest in my class is a Drag Pak STOCKER! Imagine how fast it would be built as an an SS car so it would 60'.

You don't seem to get it. The problem we all have is with NHRA accepting those bogus factors submitted, and the people that submitted them. No body cares that it came as a race car, or an independent chassis shop built it. Makes zero difference.
I was racing a long time before you were born, and I have never seen anything as under factored as some of these new cars.

Good sir, never once did I mention anywhere that things are not the way that they "should" be in our world of sportsman racing when it comes to HP ratings. Merely stating that an "opinion" does not make it "fact" like some think it is.
