corvair in stock or superstock?

Back in 73-74 I got a Corvair turbo powered dune buggy from Div ll tech director John Biedenkapp. It was on a shortened VW pan. Fun car but hard to drive. Tried it in a couple parking lot events but with the short wheelbase and rear overhang, if you were in a corner and got on it, it would stop going around the corner when it got boost. Only car I ever had that would actually tote the wheels on the street.

Billy, as you know, the 140/135s are natural R/S cars. Better than Q/S but still needs another 5 HP off. At 130 HP the Monza 4drs and Corsas would be natural T/S cars. Now that would be interesting.
