Newbee Thinking bout this class
 

Sorta been thinking bout looking into a 15 Cobra Jet 429 (if available) and wondering whats the disadvantages or advantages of this class of racing. Really dont know much about NHRA been running NMRA/NMCA stuff . Is this a breakout class? What are you allowed todo to your car? Like Trannys? Heads? suspension.

Wow,, are you getting ready to open a can of worms! There are a lot of rules in NHRA stock and SS as opposed to NMCA and NMRA. I don't know where you're located,, but my advice in this early going for you, would be to go to a divisional or national event and check out the superstock cars,, especially the Cobra Jet racers. You can pick their brains and get a feel for what all is involved, should you decide to participate in this style of racing,,, good luck on your choice.
Also,, a word of advice here on the forum, "Newbee",, don't be one of those no-namers. Go ahead and use your name,, you'll get more responses that way.

OK, stay calm, take a deep breath and slowly back away from the edge of the cliff. Then turn and RUN as fast as you can.

It doesn't appear that he ever posted after the initial post, but if this is the same Team Powerhead from NMRA/NMCA, those guys were serious in the 10.5" N/A classes. I'm pretty sure they had the first N/A 10.5 Mustang in the 7's in NMRA/NMCA legal trim. In other words, they are not strangers to spending big money and lots of time racing in a class, lol.

Tony, Then you're right .This will be easy for them..Take out the plastic or the checkbook
and tell everyone you're in a hurry for their services.
Doing this stuff all yourself is what's hard..That's why so few go that route anymore.

I agree Mark. I personally enjoy the build process and the challenge of trying to make things work by myself.

He probably already knows it, but nobody said it, plan on $100K
just to buy the car plu$, plu$ and plu$.

Like I said earlier, if it is the same guys that I think it is, they would probably be saving money racing this class over what it appeared they were spending in NMRA/NMCA. If memory serves me correctly, they were fielding multiple cars at one time, in a class where engine costs easily surpass Comp Eliminator. I don't know them personally, just remember watching them race.
