I talked with Nick Ferri at PRI, who works for Elite Motorsports. I asked him two questions. One about the Mopar blocks, he said they had just received 3 new ones. I asked him about power. He said they started off 85hp down and were now 25 down. This was of last week. I just sent some more parts to an engine builder in Florida who has a Pro-Stock customer. His last set up was 30 down from a motor they qualified with last year and he had another manifold to try after PRI.

I have heard of no "problems" with the ECUs. It is simply our HP ECU with the software changes required by NHRA. The only thing I heard was that the RPM limiter could be "cracked" if someone put the time in and that was being addressed. All the parts from US/Holley, are in stock, shipping and have been. Anybody that wants or needs it, has it. They are NOT free. There is one set price, that is somewhere between our cost and dealer WD. All teams pay the same price, whether you buy one or ten.

The entire EFI "system" including TB, injectors, ECU, coils and required sensors, costs less than half one set of "Pro-Stock" prepped carbs from one of the gurus.

These guys change, intakes, carbs and cams, like most of us change socks. So just taking the carbs out of the equation helps.

I was at Steve Schmidt's shop several years ago when he was still leasing motors. He had one room in his shop, that was as big as a two car garage. Had shelving to the ceiling all around, that was jam packed with intakes, heads, carbs and cams. When I asked what that was, I was told that the "stuff that didn't work room".............lol!! And he was NOT a mega buck guy, so imagine what those guys had tried. When Mike Duke was there, he said they ordered CNC ported heads from CFM by the pallets. He would design a new port, flow test it and if it looked promising, he would do a set of heads and they would test. He said WAY more heads went in the "room" than went to the shop for further work

Ok Monte, you/Holley (using your reference above) win. It's the greatest thing ever to eliminate competition, and make the class even more boring, so I give and bow to your/Holley's/NHRA/s superior knowledge and wisdom.

FWIW and just so you know, Dodge refused to alter the PST bodies because even though they didn't win and had a significant HP advantage (I could tell you who was telling me this but you know it already and I don't like to name drop) was because they few trucks they had running were competitive and the trucks were selling at above production levels.

And Dodge knew NHRA was killing the class.

So you win.

I bow to your knowledge, prestige, wisdom and great looks (verified that by others who have seen you up close).

Later dude.
