    yes it is true they PSI has made some improvements to the d-rotor blower since the c-rotor was offered but the same improvements could also be incorperated in the c- rotor as well so we don't know how much improvement there really would be. hope that helps I know it really doesn't answer the whole question but we will never know for sure unless we can run them side by side.
    Thanks Dave

    Dave I agree slowing the A-Fuel cars down would be the cheapest option. But NHRA's dicking around with 1% per year change??? Will even said that NHRA Does NOT plan on making another % change, guess the Blown guys are F*&%#ked!!!!:confused:

    It still goes back to where we started if we don't group up and come to agreement and talk to NHRA nothing will happen, the squeaky wheel gets the grease, call your div directors please.


    Thanks Dave

    Danny,
    I don't believe the TA/FC's want any blower change since they don't have any injected nitro cars in their class. They all run the same rules.

    It would be nice if thery went back to 125% so they didnt have to wind the s# ! t out of the motors, ( and put a rev limiter on them) longer rod life, longer spring life, longer money life. = more car count.;)

    Spec Fuel!

    No rev. limiters!!!
    In any class.
    I'm not sure how they're designed but they screw stuff up when they're hit, look at top fuel's problems at the top end. But that's a totally different subject.

    And the % change, as Dave said earlier, would have an effect if it were being mixed with alcohol only! Maybe get the percentage to 95 or 96% where it started and fill the tanks in the lanes 5 pairs before running (to avoid alcohol evaporation) with SPEC FUEL just like Pro stock & PSM. This eliminates the headaches of having to mix fuel and the problems of being off a % at the top end. Let the VP guys do this and earn their money.
