GT stock
 

I have alot of questions about GT stock class who is best to talk to or best site for info Ihra rule book does not have much info at all

Re: GT stock
 

It is just like building a regular stocker except you are using a different motor. All the same specs apply as far as part#s, just they are for the motor you are running.

Duane Eiskantt II runs a stock/gt Mustang. He regularly posts on this forum. He could answer some of your questions. You could also go to an IHRA race and talk to Hank Blankenship from IHRA.

Thanks My thought are running a late model camaro 1985-90 camaro with 350 Ihra rule book is not very clear and what i can run I understand car per stock rules but the motor/trans is where I have questions I also do not see GT stock cars and one know why people do not build GT stock cars Thanks for any info

Re: GT stock
 

after rereading I did understand what I was talking about My question is why are there so few GT Stock cars ? I see alot of GT SS but no stock anyone know why?

Re: GT stock
 

GT SS cars are eligible to run in NHRA & IHRA.
GT stockers are an IHRA only deal and therefore are less popular.
Neat concept, but NHRA didn't buy into it.

Re: GT stock
 

IF you are going to run IHRA only I think stock GT is the way to go. your 85-90 camaro is a good body to use just remember the engine need to be older then 80. as for the rest ..you just take the shipping weight with small block & the Hp of the engine you want to run & divide to get the class it fits ..........what engine are you looking to run?

Re: GT stock
 

NHRA never adopted the GT Stock Class rule due to some racers asking NHRA to allow FWD conversions in the class.

looking to run a 350 as for trans not sure if I can run glide or th350 I have raced brackets for years so I want a car I can race week after week with out alot of work but also get a few "big " races a year where do I get info about tranny? or does tranny goto motor claimed ? what is best? I raced both perfer PG but if I need first gear of TH 350 then I will do that or can I use a PG with low first gear?I belive that is that legal

I ran a powerglide with my 350 combo in a 86 trans am(s\gtb) and i changed to a turbo 350 it leaves alot better, It's a learning game to see what works with you car and combo.

Can you tell me a little more about car heads? cam? was the TH 350 stock gears or low first gear set? converter stall what kind of times were you running your car souds just like what I am going to build is your car a low maintance car?

Re: GT stock
 

if you want to run "class" & bracket race use a glide with a ....2.08 low gear set. ( if the motor makes alot of Hp use a 1.98) I think you'll be happy. If your just going to run a few "stock" races a year all you need to do is get it under the index......I think you'll be suprised how good a "stocker" is to bracket race. Dad finished 8th in div.3 last year with a car that would run .2 under in the 1/8th and right @ the index in the 1/4! ( best pass 14.25 on a 14.30 index) (h/ps) good luck!
