Sean, I think west coast was referring to the 87-93 combination being a good, cheap combination. You may never be low qualifier, but getting one to run .50-.60 under is very doable on a reasonable budget. We might even be able to call it a dime rocket!

I think the '85 is a good combination also. There have been a handful of them over the years in Stock and SS, and I think that all of them have run well.
