IHRA Pure Stock?

Swandog · 08-21-2010, 09:15 PM

I have some questions for those of you who race or have raced in IHRA pure stock. I've read the written rules but still have some questions. Any leads appreciated - I can't seem to find much on the web.

I've been slowing building a NHRA M/SA 5.0 Mustang. However, quite by accident I found out my car is legal for IHRA pure stock in G and H. I'm currently running a few tenths under the indexes so I'd like to give it a shot as there is an IHRA major event near me.

I too want to race Pure Stock with my 95 Mustang GT. All I want to do is run at least .1 under so I can get into the combo races around here.

Question:
I read the rules for PS and it does not say anywhere that I must use the factory ECM. I assume an aftermarket ECM is legal ?????...like in Stock

Or is the factory ECM the only way ?

Factory ecm. Let Danny Waters chime in though. When Duane was in charge he OK'd a tweeker for me to use (external tuner like using a chip) you almost can't run the 94/95 cars without one as the factory rev limiter is set way to low and that's the only way around it. I've tried running my 95 GT as a stocker but it proves to be a much better pure stocker and is headed back in that drection.
