Default Re: Today's cost to build a stocker ?

i agree totally, which is why the IHRA crate motor deal should be looked at by NHRA. they just need to factor them better (or worse). I run crate motor classes - i think there should be no way a $5500 350/330 crate should run as far under as a $12,000 350/295 when put in the same 69 Camaro. And yet crate motors cars seem to out run natural stockers (on average). If they made it so it was just as hard to run 1 under as it is with a natural stocker engine, then maybe NHRA would have less issues with this?

IMO
