    You guys make it sound like they put a Studebaker engine in a home made car.
    I'll disagree, a drivers foot can definitely tell the difference from one engine to another. Even a camshaft degreed in a couple degrees different in the same motor makes a big difference.

    You make it sound like racecars are one size fits all.......

      So coozer , in your expert opinion of not even racing and when you do race planning to race a motor straight from a 79 Chevy 1 ton van , you don't think a world class driver can tell the difference between a wide smooth torque curve on a d3 ford and a light switch power curve on an old 9 degree dart headed motor ?? Let me guess they cant tell the difference between a 1200 lb convention spring with an old Monroe heavy duty shock on the right front and a 225 coilover with a bump stop on a Penske making 1000lb of zero point either ???

        Just because they start where Mark or Steve Baker tells them where to start does not mean it fits Bobby driving style and it's possible this chassis may never fit his driving style. They might have to get the Pierce chassis back out. Only time will tell. Other drivers have sold chassis that didn't fit their driving style and only after having the car a few months so, it wouldn't be the first.

          It does take time to switch to a new chassis and get the hang of it.It took JD 25-30 laps when he went to a Rocket from the BW's

            Will you go watch all the DoD of Bobby and you will hear him say the car is T,, it heats the rear tire a lot faster then the old car did....If the Car is not to his Liken and he is still in the top 4 in points.. Look out if he finds a way to make it work....
