NHRA approves a new "Dime Rocket"!
 

I guess I'm slipping. I've apparently got to start checking the guide for recent additions every week! 1986 Chevy or GMC pickup truck 350/165 factored to 165! That is one heck of a gift for a wanna-be Stock racer looking for that ten cent, throw it together combo! It is a U/SA combo that might not even be able to get light enough for T. Q-jet (size NA) 390/410 cam, 624 head, 055 intake (same as 305) with a HP factor 5 HP less than a 2V 283. The same basic combo in an 81 Camaro (10 ccs less in chamber) is factored to 287 HP!
One showed up at Branerd Div. race and went -1.32 before being tossed for wheelbase!
Looks like the newbies aren't the only combos getting soft factors these days!

Seems to me Stock trucks get .430 lift cams too, right guys?

13.50's is all it went? LOL

Can this 350 run in SS/GT ?

Re: NHRA approves a new "Dime Rocket"!
 

No truck engines in SS or GT the way I read it.

I need one of those trucks!!

Re: NHRA approves a new "Dime Rocket"!
 

Mark, I think you're right!

Ken, I don't think that truck motors are allowed in GT.
