Usually the Fords got the most cubes out of their stuff.

The Mountain Motor Nationals at MIR. Fun to watch. Most could not qualify at an NHRA Pro Stock event.

MMPS, which I believe is limited to 825, outruns NHRA guys by about 3 tenths. The slow guys in MMPS would just dominate the 500's if they ran together. Our buddy had some issues and didn't qualify, EFI issues MAYBE. BUT have WON a number of MMPS events. If you look at the winners at say last NHRA and MMPS events, 500 win with a 6.62 but MMPS won with a 6.31.

But without a doubt, the NHRA 500 motors are the ELITE of N/A motors. We do have a friend who did just get a &quot;GOOD&quot; motor from the guys at ELITE infact. And even though the S or S/S stuff can run, like AA/HA Hemi's, the 500's are still the undisputed kings of N/A, searching for every hundredth, racing.
