Jeff,
You know, what we have here is a "give and take" situation. I have an old dinosaur CC/SA hemi. Therefore, I will "take" your very generous offer of a 10% hp reduction. Now "give" me something in return. I propose a somewhat simpler solution and it will only cost you 2008 and newer cars 20 or so dollars for new vinyl lettering. You guys can't run heads up with us any longer...you're 4 tenths and 10 mph faster, on the average over the last few years. What do you think about FX/A for cars in guide at 5.5 to 6.0 with an index of 9.7sec., FX/B for 6.01 to 6.5 index at 9.9, FX/C for 6.51 to 7.0 index at 10.1, FX/D for 7.01 to 7.5 index at 10.3...so on down to FX/G or so? In other words...don't go away mad from the "old" dinosaur classes...just go away, please Chuck

Where is the 800 foot mark? That is the new finish line under this scenario. Old cars can't change their tail lights and get a new combo with a fresh factor.
Safe to say a 396/400 Camaro makes north of 600 HP with a Wikle or Tilburg engine and that is about 1.5 Horsepower per cube. This is with a dual plane intake, Holley 780 Vac secondary carb, solid lifter .520 lift cam and heavy internal organs. This combo is factored at roughly 1 HP per cube. Now advance forward to 2014 and look at the engine design! 2.0 HP per cube easily attainable with this design so how do you justify starting a 396 COPO out at 390 HP when it runs past 800 HP easily? I think starting out these highly tuned race engine stockers at about 1.25 HP per cubic inch would be a pretty fair place to start. Last edited by Pedigo Perf; 09-05-2014 at 09:18 AM. |

I like the 10% hp reduction idea.

Hey Chuck, additionally, to level the playing field, I'd like CNC ported heads, roller cam, an Alum. block, 9 inch ford rear end, any brand automotive Transmission, AND I'll except the factory HP rating of 425hp. - JB-
