I have had my 87 Grand National since 2000 and I will say you can make a ton of power with it. But it comes at a price... Breakage!!! I have been drag racing since 1970 and keep telling the guys in the Grand National Club I belong to, one of these cars will never last long enough to last in Stock Eliminator. I raced mine and watch the other guys in the club race theirs and they break to often. A car has to be able to make round after round to run in Stock or even in brackets. Mine flew it went a 9.64 at 140.11 but it was always broke.. I got tired of fixing it so I put a Buick 455 in it and I'm enjoying racing the car now.
