I don't feel like any of my combos should be burdened with an index hit just because I was smart enough to build one. We're all "playing a game". If you don't like "playing a game" in the style that you're "playing" it then please feel free to "play" it the way that I do. Don't admonish me for "playing" it differently than you do.
I've never requested a HP reduction on any of my combos although they have gotten reductions from other Racers requests. I won't "play" that part of the "game". When I start on a combo, I know what I'm getting into and what I have to work with. Did you not do the same?
We're all "playing a game". Some choose to do it differently than others.

The distributor hold down is about the only "Stock" piece.

Adger, you are wrong my hold down is an aftermarket one. If you read my post #66 I explained that I wasn't trying to pick on Billy, his car or how he chooses to race. Just making a point about what makes a car underrated. You don't have to be able to run 1 under to have a HP rating that's soft. Also, you could order my car in 1970 from Chevy. My heads and intake are listed in the GM parts book. The carb I use most of the time is a EH 3310 that originally came on a 1966 Chevelle. Thats more than I can say about a lot of the cars now allowed in Stock along with the 60 plus pages of aftermarket parts they let us use. NHRA has not let me make any rules or change what is now allowed in Stock. If they let you rewrite the rules and the allowed parts for Stock just let me know if you make changes to my combo. Until then I'll build my cars according to what is allowed by them. Sorry if your unhappy about it but I'm glad they made changes to keep up with the times. BP
