How the heck do you screw that up in the engine shop? Did somebody forget to whip out the calculator when they were figuring bore and stroke?

actually it's really easy to be off by that much. example Bore is 4.055 on a small block with a three inch stroke and you write down 4.05-you'll be off by a cubic inch.

Comp is a weight per cubic inch deal so instead of the engine being too big, you could also say the car was too light. Rodger was running G/A so I'm not sure what the weight ratio was...11.5 lbs maybe? I'm sure the professor can answer that. But I don't have the whole picture because he was listed as D/SM until the final qualifying when he showed in G/A. Maybe he changed classes from D/SM to G/A to get the 0.02 in index and then at tech they found his car too light? That would really suck cuz he was in high in D.
