Pro stock didn't just swap to EFI, they also got a 10,500 RPM limit, lost the scoop, and run a spec throttle body and intake tube.

Not to say that the carb still wouldn't make more power but I feel it would be MUCH closer or equal had they got to keep the tunnel rams.


The RPM limit didn't hurt the GM architecture.

The hood scoop was on of the MOST cried about pieces of a Pro Stock car ever. WJ sniveled about them for years and claimed a huge gain in MPH if the big "mail box" was gone from the car.

EFI retarded Pro Stock in more than one way.

Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston
