Joe and Mark, one main issue is that the MMPS and "Match races" were not at 3000+ lbs? They took the weights out, used bigger engines and ran them! This why the 1970 times were 9.90 or there abouts and the Match racers were around 9.40's.

Don't forget that most of the cars in 72 were small blocks and lighter, not the 3000+ lbs like the 70/71 years.

So to use the 144+ MPH is NOT the 427430 inch motors? These were the match race 490/500+ inchers that ran light.

Just putting the MPH/Weight ratio into prospective.

DragList shows numbers for "Pro Stock Classic" with a 430 cu in limit and "Pro Stock Mountain" with a 500 cu in limit

I was using the record numbers for PS Classic

PS Classic 1971 Records: 1/4 Mile: 9.485 ET, 146.10 MPH

PS Mountain 1971 Records: 1/4 Mile: 9.265 ET, 149.76 MPH
