We used to have a $20 best package race on the final qualifying shot at divisionals a ways back.A lot of fun.Between the increase in classes,entries and no one to keep track of it the race died. It seems they're draining the fun factor out of us slow but sure. |

Now would there be 4 classes? OR would there be several classes for BB and SB and a 6 and a 4 (thinking of heavy versus light cars) or just one of each and fit using bigger motor or smaller? and reduced wt or ballast? |

Why don't you save up your money and buy two more pistons. LOL |
Re: Pick basics of new eliminator
Since we're just talking here, I'll add that a spec head that is CNC ported from the factory is easier to police against stealth modification. If there's any doubt about whether a head has been tampered with, the manufacturer can scan it, or run it throught the machine again.
In order to pass, it not only has hold the correct volume, but the shape must be identical as well. With CNC, there can be no arguing about how you found a "lucky casting". |

It could be interesting (at least to me anyway) to get some Stockers or SSers together and put a restrictor plate under the carb and put on a collector with a 2" outlet, get them to the same weight and see how they run in relation to each other. |

Ever thought about revisiting the old Modified Production weight breaks? Or maybe Super Modified? Here again, I see alot of BB, SB chevy combinations, which still would be typical of S/SS. Mandate the carb/fi size. Holley makes a 450 cfm mechanical secondary carb. I like the collector restriction idea. I would say, don't allow any flycutting of the valve relief area of the piston, this would limit cam size. Someone that's smart (read that $$$$) would just build a set of pistons that would allow them to supplant this. Some good ideas here. Limit the amount of air/fuel going in, the exhaust going out and keep everyone on 9" tires. Fitting the 6 and 4 cylinders, gonna take someone smart. |
Re: Pick basics of new eliminator
Restrictors are certainly a lot cheaper than a new set of heads.
I recall now that when I had a 2 bbl. on our G/Pure Stock combo, the same engine that went through the traps at 7000 with a Q-Jet would run out of steam at 5700with the 2 bbl. Bigger ports would only have made the situation worse. Billy, how would you like to try it out? Do you have the equip to make a restrictor for a Q-Jet? If not, what should the specs be, maybe I can get something made. I'd be willing to try it at the test & tune before the Atco Nat'l Open (Thurs April 1st). Any small block Ford or Mopar guys interested? We only want to compare how much each combo drops off, and if they start off close in performance, do they remain so. |
Re: Pick basics of new eliminator
Tony, I'd love to see how a restrictor plate would react. I can get the plate made. I don't know where to start with dimensions and I'm not sure if a plate would fit under a Q-jet. (throttle blades might hit plate)
Any ideas on plate dimensions? |
