Have an 8.5 inch rear...would need to upgrade to a MW or Moser 12 bolt.
Jeff Warren built a good engine but would need better rods.
Then there is the need for new cam, springs, valves.
Because the PCM is limited to 7000rpm that would need replacing.
Using a 4L60E with a Locking YANK converter.
New cam would need more converter.
That would mean a rebuild and a new converter.
Then would need some chassis reinforcement to prevent breaking suspension supports.
Best numbers is a $15,000 investment.
Then would have to buy the expensive gasoline to meet NHRA rules.
What I hate the most is putting in a Roll Bar..
Like the fact I can get in and out of my car with out contortions.
At home can put my street tires on and take it for a drive.
Car has run a 12.68 on a cold day.
All those mods would get the car running low to mid 12s.
Maybe high 11's on a cold day.
I am having fun in Pure Stock..
Can put back on the street with AC and the comforts the car came with.
Owned it from day one..
I agree NHRA does not need more classes.
My argument my car "as is" would best compete as NHRA R/SA.
Only have to add a few pages in the Rule Book.
Not asking for the moon !
Just want to race...!!

Up there at the top of your post. Yeah, all of that. Everyone racing NHRA Stock Eliminator has already done all of that. But you, you want special exemption so that you can play on their field without making the same effort and expenditure.Yeah, to the people already in the class, you're asking for the moon, and being extremely disrespectful. It really is that damned simple, Dan.
We're currently parked, due to our jobs, and other things, such as my pending divorce. You don't see me on here crying for special exceptions so that we can race, and you won't. I have too much respect for our fellow racers to do that.
