Good Morning Dan


You seem to be the guru with regards to Pure Stock


I'm looking into a 2014 Ford V6 Mustang for Pure Stock.


The engine is the 3.7 V6 @ 305 HP (Advertised).


Curb Weight is 3,501 (Advertised)


What classification should it be, H/PS or I/PS?


Thanks, Tom

Hello Tom;
Not sure. Ping Mike Baker at IHRA.
However, Think it will run round E/PS with what you posted.

Btw Someone did the homework to get it Classified.
It will make a great Pure Stocker.

Good Morning Dan.


6" of snow here in Southern Maryland @ 7:45 am. I'm at work in Clinto now.


Mike said that it is not classified Saturday morning, but he would double check when he gets back into the office. He did say that it could run in EFI and would check which class.


Thanks, Tom

Should be good for Pure Stock !
This was a topic of discussion last year.
One racer did the work to get it Classified.
Remember seeing the spec sheet that was approved.
Will ping Mike Baker later today.
Btw got 6-8 inches in Germantown.

Jesse Kershaw was the one that sent Mike Baker the specs on the 3.7 Mustang.
I sent a request to JK to submit them and he jumped right on it. Thanks Jesse
Not sure if the 2011-2014 3.7 Mustang is legal for PS, but I am pretty sure it is for the Fuel Injection classes.

The problem with the later model engines in Pure Stock would be the variable cam timing. How would you check duration and overlap ?

Frank,
Ha !! good observation...For 2016, Its obvious that IHRA doesn't want the hassle of checking these newer V V T cars (camshafts). I have the 2015 IHRA rule book and no where does state 2005 and earlier vehicles...

Alan, the cams check the same way for any other car as for as lift and duration. Overlap is checked with the cams at rest (engine off) and the phasers in the neutral position. Yea , its complicated ......

Dan,
Keep banging the drum for PS, despite the flak from the naysayers... Who would have imagined this . 1st round at Bradenton
yesterday (Sunday) a Pure Stock (H/PS) heads up !!

Carry On,
