It's a minimum 10HP penalty for the Edelbrock/GM head on a big block Chevy in Stock Eliminator. And as an example, the fastest 427/425 69 Camaros in the country, owned by the Sorenson Brothers, and Bobby DeArmond, have iron heads. I'm not at all convinced that the Edelbrock/GM head has done anything for the 427/425 we run. If we go back to the 427/425, it will probably have a set of Jimmy Bridges cast iron heads on it. That head seems to work for the 396/375 though.

I thought taking 3 tenths off the indexes was supposed to fix everything? Fell for that one hook, line, and sinker didn't we?

didn't do a darn ting except lower the car counts due to the bottom of the list qualifiers that could no longer run their indexes. One of the issues with the new cars is the high cost to purchase one and get it into race trim. A new guy starting out cant afford one of these new cars. everyone knows the HP numbers are way out of whack on the new cars even the owners. The qualifying sheet at Indy sure showed that.
