2016 Factory Showdown Rules Posted

Darren,

One would assume that you are correct but the rules don't necessarily say that as they are currently posted. Last years rules definitely say that for sure but the 16 rules are vague. I sure hope you are correct because I think this may be the better of the two GM 427's?

I'm not completely sure the 427/430 is better but Merc & I plan to find out by running our COPO in FSS/E for a while so we don't have to let off the gas during an event. The car weight will be about the same as FS/X so should tell us something about the differences between two engines.

Perhaps after Gainsville NHRA will see the error in their ways and fix the rules so that all cars capable of running the shootout will again be competitive?
