Question about Aspens and Volares

I used to run FGT/H (GT/HA in IHRA) with a 1980 Volare powered by a 2009 5.9L DragPak. It's a GREAT combination. I quit running NHRA because of it being 4 days for 1 race, the massive drop in contingency postings, the attitudes of some high-ranking officials, and unequal application of the rules. When I broke the crank last summer, I changed the shortblock to a 408 stroker (kept the SS legal heads, fuel injection, etc.) and just bracket race it.
