    I got to race my 70 Chevelle in the FAST class at Lebanon valley a few years ago. It was a blast and a privilege. I was asked to run the car that day by the club. Damn those cars were quick. It was a hot day I only did a couple of passes. But I’ll never forget the experience. Thank you

    Factory sock cool, but I think you should be able to use any factory grind cam, unported heads and any factory intake/exhaust manifold as well as the mandrel exhaust. I have two cars that run ok with the cam it came with but my 94 Z28 M6 would eat them up. So I did cam, head swap to more compression but pump gas headers re jet the carb and timing curve for cheap. My exhaust is straight off the headers no bends to thrush (like old flowmadters) mufflers. My 71 formula went from 14.6@96 to 13.5@104 and not sure on the 73 TA but it’s way stronger and stock it may have been faster than the formula by .2-.3 what I am getting at is the cam/exhaust did more than the heads. I am sure the formula would go 13.6 on the stock heads. But confined to what I had I am confident I could get to 13.9 in the formula and a maybe a little better in the TA but with the same cam being in both my 400 and 455 the 455 is a bit of a pig. Have to shift at 4K whereas the 400 will still happily get to 4800. Anyway time for another beer 🍺 🤣 have fun, love it!!!

    I'd like to see a class very similar to this. do anything to the engine you want, but no electronic aids, like launch control, or ecu. have to run stock suspension, except you can use traction bars. and the tires can be as wide as you want, but they have to be a treaded street tire, and they have to have at least 20 lbs. in them. that way guys with mickey Thompson's don't have a huge advantage. the car itself has to appear factory. roll cage ok, but must have full interior.

    • @michaelking1869
      @michaelking1869 5 років тому +1

      I doubt they would take the time to let you know anything let alone change the class for you. There isn’t a class that actually runs them stock. There is a factory stock class, but the cars are still tuned and not actually as they left the factory. It’s fantastic to watch and I love both. Best part is seeing how the muscle cars don’t match the stories that go with them. As a kid I always heard that muscle cars were always a set of tires away from a 10 second pass. Most actually run in the high 13’s to low 14’s in actual stock form (stock timing, carb jetting, tires, exhaust, and stuff). They are beautiful as it gets though.

    so basically as long as the car has original equipement and u can get away with cheating IE: modifying the heads but they look stock.. then its stock? NO!!... watch on youtube "Pure Stock Muscle Car Drags 2014" that's STOCK!!!!!!

    • @NPDLINK
      @NPDLINK  7 років тому

      There are two different classes: Factory Appearing Stock Tire (F.A.S.T.) and Factory Stock.
      F.A.S.T. allows internal modifications per the rules, so it's not "cheating" to modify the heads internally. The car must appear stock and run a stock tire.
      However, the "factory appearing" on the engine translates here on the rules: Engine block must appear to be a correct* original block and must be of the same engine family and exterior size (Dealer installed engines and dealer performed modifications are not allowed). Cylinder Heads and Intake Manifold MUST be correct* OEM casting, have correct* original casting numbers and be of correct* original material.
      Rules can be found here: www.fastraces.org/members/fastraces/fastraces.nsf/822dcaaaa26c6da985256dd80023623d/641ea0eecc86e4048525728f00424bf5!OpenDocument
      Factory Stock follows very similar rules to Pure Stock. Factory Stock DOES NOT ALLOW engine modifications; rules are here for Factory Stock: www.fastraces.org/members/fastraces/fastraces.nsf/822dcaaaa26c6da985256dd80023623d/eb016e341bee33a58525728f00424bf6!OpenDocument
