This is just one example among many across all brands that this has happened to. It was over 20 years ago by Larry's info,, so who knows. This particular engine is the original LT1, 360 in a Camaro and 370 in a Corvette, in 71 they had less compression and were 320 and 330 if my memory is correct. I believe that the stock and SS rating may have been both lowered at the same time. There are some running in both stock and SS.

Being a performance person, these races are ones I look forward to seeing. Jerry and Andrew have been great drivers for a long time. Too bad Jerry just barely missed the tree. It would have been interesting two really fast cars. Runs like these should be more the norm. Great to watch and guess who will win on that given day. It's too bad the AHFS the way it is written now for me has ruined a big part of Stock I enjoyed. Now almost everyone is trying to go .65 to .85. under. Sad to watch !! I don't get it. BP

Mr Hill doesn't seem too worried about it, running 1.01 under , and putting himself in the hp pool this morning.
Keep it up ,and maybe the 400 Pontiac, with NO aftermarket heads will catch up a bit.

The point of the post was how does a combination receive a reduction of 35 Hp in Super Stock using the rules as written wit a maximum of 2.25%. The starting Hp would have to be 1555 Hp X 2.25 %=
34.9875 rounded up 35 Hp reduction. How does that happen and how did it happen on a 420hp reduced to 405 Hp. |

and I'm pretty sure that a 383/330/281 in H/I/J WITH an available Edelbrock head could win any heads-up race that it got into.
and the same for a 426/365/300 in G/H/I WITH the same Edelbrock head available.

You’re spot on Billy, and don’t forget the generous GIFTS the 302 Feeee Fords received. With one stroke of the pen Good Ole Captain Jack aged 10 years.

Billy that Edelbrock is not available and if you could find them they are not legal out of the box

NHRA needs to realize that favoritism and special treatment outside the published rules will kill the Stock/ Super Stock sport. Everyone suffers from Elephant’s Memory.
