Robbie is from Phoenix, so IHRA isn't a viable option..I'm sure he'd like to race at Firebird Nat's and Div's.
The 2 bbl 302 is okay here during the winter months anyway.
I would suggest building it as a good 9" tire car, but then use a low rated EFI combo for Super Stock, where you can use a transbrake.
There is a nice one in Div 1 done similarly.
Robbie, call or write if you want
