How many cars are we talking about here?
Not exactly a cash cow for Holley, seeing they have to give about half of them away anyway.
They all use Holley carbs now, don't they?

Mark is correct. Maybe 20 cars? I don't see all of them paying for their systems either.
It's a good system. I have worked with them. Much prefer FAST myself, but the Holley is fine.

Keeps it more standardized to use only one,brand. No whining about variation.

No, most of them run Braswell carburetors or Holley carbs modified with Braswell parts.

More of an advertising win for Holley that anything else. Standardized parts helps keep heads up racing even and drivers on their toes.

I'm interested in knowing if they will be allowed to keep the body alterations other than the hood scoop thing. Closer to stock bodies would be nice but the chassis are designed for the modified bodies and would boost the expense of the changes. Speed stability is a concern with wider bodies, too.

Spot on post right there. ^^^

Holley will win from the marketing standpoint, even if they give away free parts to the PS teams.
The team's input will help the Holley engineering dept. as well.

I agree on the body change. Probably hood only for next year. ( maybe for the next 5 years)

However, it would be great to see them go back to factory dimension specs on the body panels.
