Newb stock or super stock question. . .

[TGenolcyC66]

. . . so I'm sort of new to racing. I own a 66 Cyclone GT, pretty much all original with the exception of a few go-fast parts, lo-rise intake, dual quads, headers, 3.70 gears, traction bars. I am sick of car shows and cruise ins, actually tried to sell the Cyclone, no cash out there, decided I might as well have fun with it. I want to race the Cyclone but don't have a grip on the classes and what I can leave on or need to take off. I did a search and found the weight ratio and all that, but it's unclear if I can run the current go-fast parts. I don't expect to set the world on fire here, just want to have some fun. Any suggestions, ideas?

You need a rule book first. And you need to understand up front that to be competitive in NHRA Stock Eliminator, you'll have to turn your car into a pure dedicated race car. You're talking about considerable work and expense.

I may be way off base here, I want to race a "stock" car, not stock eliminator.

Like Alan said, you need a rule book first. You could race IHRA Pure stock.
You have to run the factory intake and carb(s)?. What type of trans is in the car?

You may want to look at IHRA Pure Stock classes.
