Years ago Dempsy Hardy's stocker GTO Judge was DQd @ Indy for class because he didn't know that trick. They were a little anal back then, a friends Cobrajet Mustang stocker was DQd for class @ Indy for having 1 TRW pushrod accidently mixed in with the stock 15. Now there's a real performance advantage for you

You're right, that is a good book. I met Arvid at Jim Lewis's shop. He's a very nice guy. Jim Hale ran the engine in that article last year. If I remember right he went 11.40s in H/SA which is pretty fast, but as Mr. Cimarolli stated technology is constantly changing. Engine builders who do alot of R&D are always finding a little something here and there. Derek

The best thing for you is right here on CR. Stock and Super/Stock Tech. Talk about a book, You can read for days and days. Now you probably are'nt gonna get on the front page of the Q sheets, but you can learn a lot of stuff. Most of the long time smart racers are not going to give you the answers, but will point you in the right direction. Your most important thing is from the Fletcher/Biondo/Bertozzi/DeFrank/etc.etc. chapter in Super/Stock, and that is "How to position yourself on the ladder" to maximize your chances to advance. That is a must, even if you're the fastest guy in town.
