There is a lot of diversity in U without the help of miscalculated HP combinations, but if it weren't for NHRA's HP Committee, where would all the fun be.
Why look at numbers (60', 330', 660' etc.) from previous runs during the year to determine possible miscalculations when you can just turn an ear to the whiners and make your changes. And let us not forget the racers who cry that it is a performance based category while they lift to protect their precious combos.
The U class is the most diverse, period.

So If it's not a cadillac or chevy truck it is bogus?? They go 2 sec under and they are heros. A Ford goes 1 sec under and it's the end of life as we know it.
Yes the 302 is soft, but isn't that what stock is about? pick a good combination and flog it. In the 9 months that we have had this combination it has had 3 converters,2 revisions of one,three transmissions,two camshafts,two revisions of the heads,two shortblocks. Twenty carbs, Two AHFS hits. We test every week. Tested last night.. Testing today.
Still not as fast as the cadillac. But it's an evil Ford ... Burn it at the stake
