SS Engine Guy,

I'm new to the stock/super stock type racing. Just started building a L/S mustang and wanted to add my .02 cent's. I saw in one of your post that you wanted to allow boosted cars in the mix! To bring in youner guy's. Are you wanting to allow toyota's, honda's and the like in the classes? I think that would be very hard to do. The only reason I say this is I ran a 170ci Toyota eng in my 88 Mustang. With a stock long block, almost stock cam's, injectors and a turbo change this eng made 837hp at the tires. This type of combo would kill any stock eli car and most of the SS cars. So I don't think it would work. Epecially with the lack of knowledge of most tech guy's when it comes to computers. The only reason I didn't make the move sooner from "Street Car" racing was the fact I didn't understand all the factoring and indexing. I think that if the younger guy's could get help to understand this there would be alot of them that would want to race this type of racing. I still don't fully understand most of the stuff, but its becomeing clearer.

Thanks,
Chris Atkinson
