If it were my money, I would not build a lower class car.

The combination I've run mostly is a 86 model C-10 pick-up wiht a 4.3L v-6. No matter what I/we tried, the truck was very inconsistent. If somebody farted in the stands, it would pick-up a tenth. It was VERY affected by the wind. And this combination has a big carb (800 Q-jet), decent cam (0.430 lift), and 10.5:1 compression, but were only making high 200 to low 300 hp range due to the lack of displacement.

We've used the same techniches for running a A/B/C classed car, and it was very consistent provided the track was ok.

On the plus side of racing the truck, it's easy to see out the rear window. I can't think of any other vehicle that has beter visiblity for being caught.
