Re: thanks again nhra
So now a 2 second under combo becomes what, a 1.5 under combo?
I would say that the HP rating on that combo was a joke, but jokes are funny. Up until last year, the hp rating on that combo was the same as the 230 inline 6 in the nova. Somebody would have to play "the game" for the next 5-6 years at least to make that combo anywhere remotely close to the el camino in V/SA. It's kind of funny how people keep complaining about the "fffords". Where's the influx of people building 2bbl 302's that everyone cried wolf about? The people that are running those combos seem to be the same ones that ran them for years before the hp reduction.

As stated above, your 2 second under combo just got knocked back to 1.50 under combo, what a shame!

Re: thanks again nhra
For those who don't follow this stuff closely, but feel the need to comment anyway, Jack's Elky is a 305 2 bbl...not a V6 like the one that triggered this look/see and subsequent ruling.
Jack's doesn't run a second under, yet. It did lose it's .430 lift cam too though. Whether it should have had it in the first place is debatable, but it did and now it doesn't. (See MJ's point, above) That was Jack's point, I believe.
