Comp is a whole other animal, and a lot more money! I have no experience in Comp. I did notice that was a turbo motor you referenced, yours is not a turbo.

Stock is a series of classes based on pounds per horse power. R/S is an 18 lb. class. Your horse power is 130 unless NHRA decides to factor it. 130hp X 18 = 2340lbs. Then you have to add 170 for the driver. Your minimum weight for R/S would be 2510lbs. You should get a rule book and read it. All this is explained in the book. All the indexes and records for the classes (Comp also) are in the National Dragster magazine which NHRA puts out every week. Jim
