Different as night and day.
There are many good running cars on the west coast in all classes A-H, and a few notables in I-M so you won't go very far with a slow car.
SS is just cubic dollars to run far under. Lots of RPM.
What do you get for setting a national record? About 9 horsepower. LOL
Or stay with bracket racing, money ahead.
Sounds negative, but trying to be realistic.
I didn't even get to the entry fees going up and purses not following, and contingencies going away or no payment. Then the amount of time off work needed to attend races.

This sounds like the truth. I do NOT have cubic dollars. Bracket racing is fun. But like most car guys, I?m constantly looking for the next thing. Lots of good suggestions here.
So if I?m looking at this correctly, a 1967 Satellite had a shipping weight of 3534. The 383 four barrel, advertised at 325, is factored at 290 with stock 516 heads. This means the weight break number is 12.18, which slots the combo into SS/K, which is an index of 11.25. To be competitive at all, I’d have to have that combo solidly into the 10?s. That seems crazy to me. With stock heads and a 625 cfm AFB.
Also, Am I correct that under the GT class, you can run an engine combination from another year, such as a 440 six barrel setup in a 1967 chassis??
