I ran SS/CS from 1991 till 1999. I chose this class as a modified class without having to have the newest cyl. head every couple years. This is still a great class and can be run on a budget IF you are happy with .30-.40 under. I ran a best of 9.77 back then in my dinosaur 67 camaro. Phase 1 bowties, cast intake, chevy crank, no $1800 rings, no vacuum pump, 1.6 jesel, stock dia. lifters,stock cam tunnel, powerglide trans.
With Pattersons expertise my 320" motor made 630hp on their dyno.
I recently sold those heads cheap.
I still have 2 more sets and I am sure there are more out there. Even with 30 year old modified iron heads you can make enough power to run under todays index.
If you can avoid any heads up runs with the few good high dollar cars out there you can have a modified car in the show and have as good a shot at winning as anyone.
