So if I am reading that right they are slowing blower down but letting them remove weight? I know at one time it was hard for them to remove more weight. That probably gets very costly. 1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27 Livin and lovin life one day at a time

This rule won't affect them. Mark has been 186 mph in testing this year...they've got plenty of power on tap.

Put your tinfoil away. The Chevrolet and Ford both had pulley added to them earlier this year. The Dodge and the Ford are running the same size pulley now.
