I've recently picked up a C5 and since Crandall is IHRA once again that is the direction I'm heading. It's a very soft index (according to what a Corvette is capable of running) and I think I can easily cover it with a cold-air intake kit and mail-order tune. I plan to mount some drag radials on OEM wheels so that the car looks completely stock. I just got the car and am heading to Ennis for the Super Chevy next weekend to run it stock and get a baseline. From what I've read it may almost run the number!

I know Pure Stock car counts aren't high, but to keep from having a truck and trailer, as well as to keep racing costs down (this is my daily driver) I still like the class and don't care if it's in NHRA or not. Yes, it would fun to own/drive a late-model Stocker but I personally don't have the time or money to invest in that much of an endeavor.

WOW.. That was a good car.
Corbitt and his son got a best of 12.36 out of the car on a cold day as a Pure Stocker.

If you are interested have an Edge 3600 for the 4L60E.
The SS ran a best 1.70 60 foot and 13.27 full weight with ECIRS as HoBo.
Hurt the engine last year, fixed it up.
Since engine was out installed a 3800 Yank.

Ran the Edge for 1 1/2 seasons. Works perfectly.
FWIW You will need the 1-2 Shift Fix Tune for the 4L60E to use it with ODB1 PCM.
I use Bryan Herter at PCMFORLESS for my tunes

Let me know if you are interested.
