Anyone interested in a "dime" superstocker?

In that case I'd say I have a 'nickel rocket', but turbo's apparently don't count, so....

Mark, I think you nailed it with a 14sec, 5K car. That's my target. If it were in Montana I would consider it more. Stupid me wants to do it on his own and with a Ford. I figured out it's not so much about looking at what you have available to build, but more about what combos to look at and go find. I have asked some noob questions, but I am learning though...anyways, 14 seconds or less for 5k or less is a dime rocket to me, that'd be about 10% of a "fast" car I would venture to guess...

If thats the GT 5.0 HO combination, it should be stick only.

It was tried at the Seattle divisional last year or the year before and the guy got caught.
From what I understand, it's worth about 3 tenths. I was thinking about a 304 AMC until I figured out I would have to run a 1.08.
