Power costs fuel. A stock 22 gallon tank will not support the hp required to reliably run 90 miles flat out in the upper speed/power classes. Nor will stock fuel lines or pump, starting at the tank pickup. One weekend, Jr Wilson lost a cylinder at the start of a 90+ mile OSS with his 850+hp Boss 429 Pantera. So he ran his usual flat-out style on 7 cylinders. It sucked a 42 gallon fuel cell dry before the finish line and coasted to the end @ 'only' 177 avg.
