kind of off topic, but just like "budget builds" from the magazines. "How to build a strict budget 360 for 5k"....
I guess budget is individually based. Even 30 years ago, they advertised budget builds of 3k. This is at a time when my induction system was a 20 dollar TQ/cast intake from the junk yard from a maxi van. Heads would be home ported by me. Used cam and lifters a part of it. Headers were 99 dollar cyclone or hedmans.
I guess budget covers a broad spectrum.

When you’re talking about cars running in the low 4’s the term budget just means a car that wasn’t built my a millionaire.
The record for mx235 is in the 4.40’s I believe. I think they’re a lil more strict on the power adder rules in ultra. I also think it’s oem block too. I’ll have to look up the rules it’s beem a while, but whatever they’ve done it seems to be the closest class within reach for your average blue collar guy. Still wouldn’t be easy but I believe it’s doable
Ultra Street - Holley EFI Outlaw Street Car Reunion VI
There’s the link for the ultra stree rules, I know it’ll be a long shot but I’m swinging for the fences and trying o build my car towards this class. I’ve loved the heads up radial stuff since I was a kid and always wanted to get into it

The money comes from somewhere .. I have both those type people in my life. My x works for usps. Makes good money. But not that good. Got a buddy that is a dang good Ford diesel tech. Makes 100k year. Both these people.I speak of have nice homes and drive new vehicles . neither one have the budget for 4.20 cars ... Got another good buddy owns his own body shop. In a small town. He has a 4.70 BBC Fox body. His 18 yro son has a 4.50 67 camaro. They bring them to the track in a diesel pusher motor home and a 75k stacker trailer. Great family and good racers. And they drive new.vehicles and have a very nice home. Usps worker, tech at dealership yes make good money . but they got a honey hole somewhere.
