I always get a laugh out of the people who have nothing to do with Stock eliminator and have never tried it...... yet proclaim to have all these ideas about what can and can’t be done.
Let me tell you....... unless you’ve tried it yourself...... you don’t know...... what you don’t know.
Many Stockers that aren’t all that fast relative to their indexes, or don’t qualify very high up on the sheet..... still run pretty damn good compared to a lot of average bracket or street/strip stuff.
And much to the disbelief of the casual observer...... many of them are FAR from high effort or high dollar endeavors.
I was just having this conversation with my friend the other day about the 350 Pontiac he tried this summer.
Sure..... his car is pretty well sorted out....... but that motor was a zero R&D effort.
Buy the correct parts, bolt it together, put it in the car.
Didn’t even go on the dyno.
10.99 first pass off the trailer.
I was thinking if it would have gone 11.20’s it would have been doing okay.
Best so far is 10.80@123.
Yes..... a .421 lift cam, small valve heads that flow 200, stock iron intake (eBay special), q-jet.
We were talking about how good it ran and how totally un-trick it is.
