School me on Stock Eliminator?

Realizing there's plenty of forums that cover this type of subject, I thought I'd take a stab at it here.

I'm real interested in stock-class drag racing. My interest was really piqued recently by an Ebay auction for a Stock Eliminator Demon that's still going on right now. It's a killer looking car, and it really got me thinking about how to get a 'stock' car to run so quick.

I'm curious as to what's involved in Stock Eliminator engine programs and mostly what's involved in cylinder head prep beyond the obvious, such as the valve job and milling. What else is there to consider? What kind of other mods do class racers employ on their heads? How does a stock-lift camshaft work with this type of set up? What's the secret to the cam grind if you're only allowed to use the stock lift spec?

I'm thinking of trying to piece together a 340 "stock eliminator style" - stock heads, intake, TQ, etc. I think it's amazing what those engines can do. Some of those cars are fairly heavy with full interiors and such and run very quick times with wheels-up launches. I'm considering building a class-type engine to go bracket racing with then perhaps getting in to stock later down the road if I can get decent at it. Probably wouldn't happen for a while, but just thinking ahead.

I realize this may just be scratching the surface. I also don't think it's that far beyond the reach of the regular Mopar guy but really requires a special attention to detail and planning. Anybody school me?
