Re: L72 `69 Camaro NHRA stockers
I think you are wrong about being competitive. You can be competitive because you are a drag racer and can definetly run on the index with a little practice and time. Most of these cars run on their own dial-in and only have to run close to their record when they are in class eliminations. You basically dial your own ET. NHRA is not even running class eliminations at every event anymore. As good as you are on the dial-in is really what it takes. If you run 10.50's in A/S or A/SA you could have alot of fun and be competitive. I think a small block is around $8,500 to $9,500 and a big block is around $12,500 to $13,000. Probably at this time of the year you can find some of these cars for sale and get a pretty good deal. $20,000 would probably buy a competitive stocker. I would not build one I would probably buy one ready to go. Has to be cheaper and the bugs worked out already. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/

Re: L72 `69 Camaro NHRA stockers
Sam is right we run in what we bracket mode until we run up against a car in our same class thens it's FULL bore mode. A lot of things change in that mode [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]

Re: L72 `69 Camaro NHRA stockers
Merry Christmas everyone!
I think that the L-78's need to really be spun hard to make them work. The way I understand it the 396/375 horse cars have a narrower torque band also. Their was an article in Super Stock Drag Ill on the Checkmate team before the mag disappeared and they talked about putting some really steep gears in their after market 4 speeds to really tune them for the RPM range they run. It is amazing how much horsepower it takes to make up for weight, expecially if it is in the wrong place. Jim [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ [/img]

Re: L72 `69 Camaro NHRA stockers
How much horsepower are these cars making know? Even at 3500 lbs they have got to be pushing 630plus.
