What has changed in Stock Eliminator since 2015?

[GTX JOHN]

My Demon is exactly the same as it has been for well
over 10 years except for routine Maintenace and new
tires a time or two.

It is not a rocket ship with the all the new billet camshafts/lifters and
latest now accepted Aluminum heads. However, it goes 1.0 under
in good air and it still wins rounds. Just not the occasional Heads Up.

Just service and get your race car back out again and have some
fun!!!!

It does not need to be State of the Arts to turn on some win lights.

I think you being modest, 1 sec. under is an achievement we would all like to obtain.

Solid lifter allowed in place of hydraulic is the only major rule change I can think of. Yes some technology has been updated but it?s not a necessity. I?d say get the car running again and go have fun!

I'd have to agree with Chipper. Cylinder head and intake modifications have become more "liberal". Mainly because no one in authority knows what to look for anymore. Basically if the head looks "right" and is under the listed runner volumes then it's good.

You can spend lots of money on "state-of-the-art" heads and an intake. Depending on your cam and combo choice, I've found no difference between solid and hydraulic lifters and stock and roller rockers from a performance standpoint but that could be the combos that I'm using.

Wrong again Ed! I think that I answered his second question rather well! Unlike your first post which didn't answer any of the man's questions at all. It only told him how expensive it has gotten. Does anyone tell you how to spend your money?

you say I'm wrong because you don't have the coin to field a competitive stocker that can win a championship in stock eliminator today. Meanwhile the stock eliminator racers I'm friends with aren't happy just to show up and maybe win a round or two, No they show up chasing the championship with cars that are capable of winning a championship and they have the driving skills to do so.

Now we have a clear difference between you and me. Back when I did race I was nowhere near the fastest, but I did my own work, built my own engines, rebuilt my manual trans and setup my own rear ends. It looks look you and yours friends just write checks. To each there own. But that is not what racing is for me.

No, I said you're wrong because you're wrong. And this^^^^^^ has nothing to do with the questions asked.

But since you've brought up the subjects, I don't ever remember discussing my financial means with you. I'm comfortable enough to do whatever I would want to do and I don't have an EGO that big.

I've said on many threads before, "I'm not going to spend $100,000 to make $2,000. THAT isn't very good financial advice, not that I asked you for any.

Now, as far as the "stock eliminator racers you're friends with", instead of putting words in their mouths why don't you ask them to give me a call or post on here (they're all members here) and let THEM tell me what they would think of my chances of winning a championship if I decided to do so. Unlike you, they know what I'm capable of if I decide to do something. I'm pretty sure that I still can figure out how to put together a competitive Camaro of Nova, I've got a few. But you see, I'd have to BUILD it myself so that when I win in it I can claim ALL of the accolades. Not like you!

Thanks You Sir!

However, 80% of the guys in my class out here that have been racing a while,
will destroy me in a heads-up race.

My boy runs a similar 71 Demon 340 but with all the latest parts
It is built by one of the top Mopar guys in the country.
He out qualifies me generally by a solid 3 tenths
(When he wants to and his average will let him).

He does not mind a heads-up races very much at all.

I still have the same Isky Camshaft in the car since the
early 90's and I have not got a bit faster since the Mid 90's
with this particular car. My friend Gregg Luneauk (RIP) freshened
my short block in 2012 and that is the last time.

But I am still having a Blast at the track with all my friends and can turn on a
win light now and then.
