A better comparison with a traditional production-based Stock Eliminator race car, might be a '99-'02 LS 346 V8 Camaro A/SA car. The current national record in A/SA is 9.65 at 136.3 mph.
A car like that would have a stock throttle body, stock intake manifold, stock heads with an NHRA-legal valve job, stock bore (plus up to .040"), stock stroke, stock compression ratio pistons, stock valve lift, stock rocker arm ratio, and so on, with a "metric" TH200 3-speed automatic transmission with no trans brake, an 8" converter, and 9x30" tubeless radial slicks.
