I Need Help With A Math Problem

[Mark Yacavone]

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.

I'm gonna guess that certain people have friends in very high places?

Those Camaros at 350/325 can thrash our 340/314 Mopars at will!!!

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

GUMP if I can get Dumbo to move in 60' a little quicker it will be ok. At the BG Sports I'm going to try a set of ported heads and a SS intake to see if I can wake him up.

If I remember correctly, the 350/360 as rated at 390 or 400 HP back when we raced on street tires, around 1973. I remember that because nobody was racing them because of the HP rating. The '69 Z/28 302 is rated at 309 HP now and to race a '70 Z/28 which is rated at 320 HP, there is 110 LBS difference between the cars with the '70 having 48 cubic inches more with the same engine manifold, carb and heads. It's one of the biggest loss of power than any other engine combo.

Hi Jim! I hope all is well! I'm pretty sure that IF someone were willing to pay enough money for a set, a set would appear. BUT, if they're "not legal out of the box" then why are they legal? ;-)
