Can you imagine how fast TF/FC would if be they were still allowed 100% with a 2.90 gear and NO rev-limiter like they were in Pre 1990? 4.20's @350????

Yeah, and I MISS wedge engines in the alcohol classes. I think you could compare Rick Santos and his small block Chevy back then to the TAD/AFD parity problem now. I read once that basically, if he didn't shake, he won. Same with the AFDs. They're either on or off. If they're on, they win. I don't think the desired parity is ever going to be achieved.
