I'm also putting my super stocker back to work, and spent a bunch of money for a new engine that is down on power. Chevrolets dominate in my class (SS/BS) because (in part) there is so much R&D from Comp that filters over into it. Hell, you could buy a used 320 inch 15 degree comp motor that makes 800-plus horsepower for half of what I just paid for my engine.
The NMCA deal is a real eye-opener (for me, at least). It just seems so much better than what the NHRA is offering. They have made a real effort to bring parity to the racing, too. And, I simply don't see the cost being that much greater than what you would spend on a competitive class car, regardless of manufacturer.
The problem for me is that there are not a lot of events nearby (none really). But, it's something to think about, even if I have to travel a good distance to race.
Thanks, Kevin, for bringing up the topic.

I agree with what you are saying. My current engine combo was a stupid cheap budget build that can run 2-3 under index and that's it. If I have a heads up run, I'm done easy as that. But the chances of having one are slim to none. To go fast you're going to spend a ton in either type of racing
