that's probable why mopar doesn't participate in pro stock class anymore !!
They aren't selling hemis of any sort anymore, and their performance stuff for the gen 3 hemis they used to sell was pathetic. Why in the world should they care about Mopar racers, or drag racing at all?Sad fact is, Mopar is moving on from drag racing in large measure.
They could give two ***** about it.
Thankfully someone stepped in to vacate the hole Mopar left by abandoning sponsorship of the hemi challenge at Indy.
Stellantis blows.
Four of the top five, non-chevrolets! No wonder chevy cheaters were punished by giving them more horsepower!

I dislike Erica Enders for the same reason - she badmouthed Dodges because Elite couldn't figure out how to make them run.I lost all respect for Chris Mc Gaha when he said he was glad to get away from those pia Mopar fans ...
I don't think NHRA or Nascar for that matter realize how many Mopar fans there are ! not that they care or ever didI dislike Erica Enders for the same reason - she badmouthed Dodges because Elite couldn't figure out how to make them run.
Yeah, I thought that the hemi's were destroked, but didn't want to put something on here that I wasn't sure of. Same with the Fords, I thought they were running Cleveland's. I don't think I knew the Chevy's were running 331's, which I'm guessing were 350's that were destroked.The Ford guys were certainly running clevelands. But I thought Grumpy was running a 331. I can tell you from personal experience, it's a lot easier to go fast with 2000 lb instead of 3000. The weight-break shenanigans were why there were destroked Hemis and four door mavericks in prostock.
Basically the 350, 327, (331 is an overbored 327) and 302Chevy, were all the same 4" bore block. Size was determined by factory crankshaft stroke, 3, 3.25, or 3.48. If I remember right, the Hemis were destroked with a custom crank that was probably available from Direct Connection (so it would be nhra legal) to 366 0r 398 inches. The E-bodies were difficult to get down to weight, so they started running Colts. Evil little things with that much power.Yeah, I thought that the hemi's were destroked, but didn't want to put something on here that I wasn't sure of.
