hey Johnny, thanks that helps even further. and makes me see the reason for a weight box. My low 13 second street car (72, a/c,cruise, drag radials) weighed 4138 with me in it (190 lbs) and a half tank at fontana in november, so I could see 3400 lbs in an "empty" race car, although it would take some weight loss concentration to get to D wieght in a 70, I guess. what rear ratio does it take to move these things competitively? at these weights? and also, since my interest is now all over the place, what cyl heads are you allowed in SS? still the cast iron heads, with small valves for the non-stage 1 engine?? but any camshaft/rockers?? thanks for the info in advance, I am always stunned at how fast legal NHRA stock and super stockers are these days, and a being a Buick owner/enthusiast, am interested in how these cars are running in the curent rules structure. Someone over on V8 Buick.com told me Jason line's old car is in the pacific northwest, D/SA, has run some 10.40s!!! that is just amazing to me!
