The truth of the matter is that the 302 Ford went from a ridiculous 200 hp where a very good car could just run the index to factory hp. You complain about BJ's car without ever seeing it. Believe me it wasn't instantly #1 material. That car is a VERY good car with all of the tricks . A lot of time and money was spent on that combination and it's not my first rodeo. The HP is about right now. Almost any class has cars that can run 1.3 to 1.5 under. They just don't show it. |

Mike, I was referencing your car as it was the fastest out of all of them. I know that you flogged it to get it where it is at, and I trust Billy's judgement on how hard you two work, but it was a real nice gift to begin with. I bet you could go .5 under to begin with. I mention you both as you hit that index several times, and still can run way under. Mind you I'm not talking about you, it is your combo that most of the racing community knew was going to be fast to begin with, that NHRA allowed.
When I first got my car, it fit real nice into U/SA also, and after years I got to go pretty fast, but never 1 second under, they kept lowering the index or the Dodges would get hit with HP and me too. My concern is with the index getting lowered.
