BTW, my quickest pass was 1.007 under. And that only happened once. So there's that.

Tony, Email Pat C and ask for an explanation. That’s what I did to find out I missed the cut off by .004.

You must be running a late model soft combo. Copo. Mustang ?
Must be instant 120 hit?
Because 1. Run is not getting HP

James, it's my understanding that if there are two runs of 1.00 or faster under the index, that triggers something. And then the NHRA looks at the combination's average, giving H.P. at the end of the year. There are other guys running my combo and they have gone over a second under. So, I'm guessing that's what did it. I just wish I had known this was happening.

The combo must be a little soft to begin with because all these cars 2008 and newer are under factored to begin with.
Can’t help but too go too dam fast
That’s the way system supposed to do
And with no mineshaft
It’s gonna get real ugly especially for these newer cars now
There are know good running combinations safe now
Where gonna get it in the shorts

I still say lowering the indexes makes more sense.

Not financially. It will just push/keep more out.

Bullet is making new slower camshaft designs along with Total Seal "No Seal" piston rings. They come with NHRA's seal of approval. They cost more than what we have been using but there are Guaranteed to slow you down.

"slower camshaft designs along with "No Seal" piston rings."

I already have them. They don't work.
