Is gonna try give the chevies a run for the money. Posted on FBBO. Kim
I watched the coverage, I didn't even see his run.
I would take 16th at Indy in a minute.
Remember when Charlie Wescott bought Cunningham's Mustang pro stock equipment and tried pro stock? The man who owned Hemi Challenge series could not qualify.

need to go back to their roots factory car bodies 2500# limit 6.4 c.I. maybe a spec supercharger and see what happens
Anybody remember Jr. prostock back in early 70's if I remember correctly very short 2 seasons maybe
Naw, Pro Stock is N/A. I’d rather they kill the class then change it to blower junk.
2 Mustangs with 500 CU Chevys Engines....
Rules allow any engine make in any brand of car.....
I spoke with AP for a while in Phoenix. He brushed all that stuff aside. The RPM thing quit being an issue a while back. He said what he needs is serious $ for R&D and parts. His team is also part time/volunteer. Either way, it’s gonna be tough because it comes down to numbers. When people are running more of one combo, there’s more tech available that eventually everyone gets a hold of. AJ had the factory behind him at his peak. They left PS and they aren’t coming back. I don’t disagree with their shift to FS. It was a solid business decision. Unfortunately at 7.50 that’s over with too.
I have a hard time believing he brushed aside RPM. So serious engine builder who does more than bracket racing stuff knows better.
He is also fully aware of the architecture limits of the engine he uses.
FWIW, the Johnson family didn’t get near the help most thing they did. Let’s not forget, Chrysler in its infinite stupidity pulled ALL support from the Johnsons’s in late 1998 and gave it to the Nickens/Morgan team, and that was a debacle.
The Johnson’s success lies almost solely with Roy himself, and their in house guys. There was a time in 1999-2000 that Roy couldn’t even GET a block.
Nick Ferrie, who is an exceptional builder couldn’t make a dodge run. And he tried twice. Once with Jeg and a few years back with Elite.
No one else wants to touch it. Rules made the Dodge engine platform obsolete.
If AP wants to keep running PS, he should either put a GM engine in his chassis and live with it, or put a GM body on his chassis with the GM engine and go race.
He has zero chance of being competitive.
