Is that a basic ITB car?.....20 lbs per hp?

Let's say a 2000 lb car has 100 hp at the crank which = 20lb/hp...is that what everybody seems to have.

In that case my car is 124hp & 2500 lbs = 20.16 (that's pretty darn close)

I mean...There is a difference between getting passed on the straight and getting smoked.

We're getting smoked by a few V-Dubs.....And it ain't exit speed.

We've had some of our best races with Volvos & BMWs.
It's like what I imagine SRF would be like.

Somewhere along the line, I mistakenly understood that you had an early Pinto with 124 flywheel hp. That's where the 18 lbs per hp number came from. Having re-read your posts, I now understand you to say the early car has more than 124 flywheel hp in IT prep? And the later car is 260 lbs heavier, with less hp? This despite 15% more displacement and higher compression ratio? Man, some things here are just not adding up.
