[quote=“cwbaader” post=69258]Musings…if you don’t check everyone on the same dyno a hp rule is useless. Example…the GTS series.

Part of the idea of the rule is to give people the option of rolling the dice. If the rule specs 160, and you are over, you get DQ’d. Those guys that want to build a motor that is right at the limit may run the risk of getting a dyno that reads a bit high. Even more reason not to push it. You’ll probably know who those guys are as they would be dyno’ing before you go out to race on any given weekend.
Again, there should be enouigh dyno plots roaming around that were taken at a NASA event to compare across the board.
Nobody at nationals (in the top 4) had over 160. I guess you can count me out of the top 4 since I was DQ’d because of a chip, but they didn’t dyno X’s (can’t remember who was behind me) car. I think Anthony had 157 IIRC.
Are we just not seeing the full monte with regard to the southern or west coast guys due to non-participation at Nationals?
If a fully built motor results in about 160, make the rule at 160 and allow a +2 tolerance.
I am WAY more interested to see what happens next year with the new tire. I ran two 2009 tires on the left side of my car during the final race at nationals and picked up about 1 second compared to the 2011 tires.
