What kind of cam and engine work does it take to make that kind of horsepower from a "stock" L78. I'm not up on what is allowed in stock class racing.

[/ QUOTE ] Gotta be stock lift cam, but duration/lsa/lca can all be moved around...big power from such a little change. Engine work, well it's a science unto itself! Sweating the details would be putting it mildly... |

A Jerico 4 speed and a 538 ring and pinion and the addition of a 3/4 to 1" fuel line also help. The over the counter BB aluminum heads that NHRA certified was a big step to. But just remember they all cheat!

Last time I looked at Steve's car it had the stock fuel line!! That blew me away. He told me the holley bowls hold enough fuel that you don't need a big line.

I don't think I have seen any in the last couple years that were not at least 1/2" to 3/4". Maybe the rule book has a limit for Stock Eliminator, I am not sure. All I know is that even the small HP cars run good. There ain't NO shabs out there anymore! No easy rounds for the Stock/SuperStock guys.
