the Automatic Help For Slugs cannot and will not EVER work and this is why > we can control our own destiny.

i feel for MJ and the 396 camaros and you actually are not in control you are a spectator in your cars viability to a point.

i aint sure what the answer is but the bogus *** AHFS aint it especially when it isnt followed in all cases. and some individuals requests carry more weight than others who pay the same for membership and entry fees.

end rant

Please explain to me what you're saving it for? If you can go 1.2 under it deserves horsepower.
I know you'll hate me for asking but I welcome your feedback. Keep it clean.

Well, the 305 263 HP combo took a beatin this weekend. Some of you guys and girls can add some weight now OR add 50 lbs this December. A lot of the problem is that there are a few of us that can not qualify at least -65 under….REMEMBER, you have to make a run of -65 under to be included in the class average. On a side note, if you OR your opponent red lights it is OK to let off at the 1000 foot cone. C,mon , you are smart . With your data you can figure out what the car will run……

Well, ALMOST everyone behaved at BG so we are looking good. For those that are throwing stones at MJ, I have changed my combo to a 1986 coupe NHRA rated at 275 HP ….It sure did not help my driving. LOL.

Well, today I received the latest averages for the 1983 Camaro 305 stocker engine rated at 263 HP …The overall eng average is -823 under. The G/SA average is -822 under. The H/SA average is -835 under and the I/SA average is -782 under. These averages DO include the Epping D1 race ALTHOUGH that race has not been completed…. It does look good for our combo. I believe we will NOT be adding weight for the Holidays. After a few conversations at INDY it looks as though everyone is on board. My good friend ROD from D1 gave me some valuable tips at Indy. He said MJ “ you just ain?t running enough oil.” I laughed all the way home….It was great visiting with TJ Boucher AND Rod AND Chris at Indy…...I spent two days trying to find Kenny Richards BUT I could never locate him.

This will be my last post regarding the 305 carb combo ….
