I think it's way too early to tell. Especially with the valve spring rule.

A couple or three tenths (from where the fastest cars are running now), maybe more once the high dollar valvetrain/deep valve relief pistons trickle in, and people can get really nutty, but that like everyone else's guess is pure speculation.

It's such a weird thing putting that much camshaft into such restrictive head/intake and then putting it on a small drag radial, that there isn't a lot of relevant comparative data.

I'm really curious to see what a 2V can do with these rules. My guess is that it still wont' be competitive, but, I've been wrong before.

It's just like Florida all over again. Wait and see what happens.
