The biggest advancements have been in tires and shocks... yeah we make about the same power for most of us.. but the tires and shocks have made the cars quicker and faster... back then the best we had for a shock was a truck shock.. hell I was bolting on spring steel plates on my springs way back then for better leverage.. and it worked but I was never a big engine builder... I was always make it light and do the best you can to make it hook... still pretty much the same way
What ????!!!!! Maybe if you are talking about from the 60's.......
imo, cylinder heads are by far the biggest advancement....
One must remember that alot of these guys have "happy" memories.....similar to some "happy" dynos..........
Yes.. 60s and early 70s... watch the old dragsters and they spun the whole length on the track... plus back then they could actually measure the hpand not guess like they do now.. they dont have a way to measure the torque they make now days.. and the shocks now are at least putting the power to the track... heads now are only a bit better than they were years ago... and the flow benches are far better to get the heads better
