In modern NHRA STOCK CLASS, 302 &amp; 305 Heads are so exotic that the valves are relocated, cantilevered and the heads cut in 1/4's , relocated &amp; raised ports, rewelded etc, etc, etc......its common to have $18 - $ 22,000 + in heads and intake work. </div></div>

This I didn't know?? Strange how in STOCK, things are really regulated like only offset grinding crank .015&quot;, yet you can cut apart a set of heads, move everything and re-weld them back, and tech does/says nothing? aybe that's true, never really been into STOCK.

The multi-clutch PG sounds good for the hi-Hp big inch guys, but these smaller motor guys that I know, run 3 speeds, mostly PRO-FLITES. Buddies small tire (29.5 X 10.5 tire), 2780 lbs 440&quot; SB N/A for has also been 1.1025 60's. Again 3 speed PF trans. PG was just off a bit and car would 60 with the 2 speeds and low Hp 440 SB.

Now I'm NOT saying you CAN'T get a OEM style lil SB to run mid 11's, just there's something that's not being told??? I can't figure, why this STOCK ELIMINATOR, either K/SA, L/SA or M/SA car, that can legally run mid 11's, why doesn't it hold a record in the class??? Record for K is 11.76, L is 11.82 and m is ONLY 12.35 MINIMUM? MacNeish is listed for D/S though.

Trust me, I'm all about going faster then you should with what you have, these are some good examples too.

NO DOUBT either way, the car works and the guy is successful in my book..
