It should all be run what ya brung .... EFI/Carb/Nitrous.....whatever. Instead of 358 ci, let's go to a 5.0 rule .....

Re: MAJOR RULE CHANGES COMING TO NHRA PRO STOCK?

Now what gets me is can 8 injectors even even supply 2500hp or are they going to need to run 2 or maybe even 3 injectors per cylinder?? And at that how much HP do they think they can get out 358ci's??

*And this is on Methanol, which requires a ton more fuel flow

And that is why I was asking, because an injector that can support 800hp on gas is only going to supply about 400hp on Methanol.

BIG injectors indeed........

In which case they'll save money with EFI. I think Pro Stock is suffering from the same thing as the fuel ranks; it takes really big budgets and know how to be competitive especially with the essentially mandated spec cars and engines they are running.

Randal, thanks for the post re Moran's injectors. They have some great YouTube video re how much those monster will flow and the dispersion pattern. I'd be willing to bet a round of beers at DW that those are what Larry Larson has on his car and maybe only eight of them.

I'm sure they'll find positives running EFI, but I don't think it's going to be anywhere near what they'll learn in cylinder head technology, I'm sure new break throughs in runner design are on their way....... ;)

let the racers run both. it is about winning or losing.

We can ALL agree on this, yes??

I'm all for it.

Pro Stock is so healthy they are running multiple pairs of cars from MANUFACTURERS THAT NO LONGER EXIST.

C'mon guys, the cost of the injectors is a minute cost compared to the overall cost of a pro-stock motor. The Moran injectors are $188 to about $250 an injector. A drop in the bucket.

Hell, they're cheap enough for me to buy some. LOL

match racers don't break

go hang out in the NHRA pro stock pits and watch how many parts they burn through

Pro stocker dont go very many parts motorwise, most run the valves set the air gap on the clutch, jetting and chip changes and they are ready to rock.

and back at the shop , ??
just because they don't open them up every round like T/F doesn't mean the parts last all that long

Time=Money.

Whether you're spending the time on your own machine, or farming it out, there is still a cost.
