SS/Modified Question

Jared Jordan · 10-26-2010, 10:26 PM

Admittedly, I know little to nothing about the SS Modified classes and am wondering about the available combinations/classes. The way I read the rulebook, an SS/AM is at 7.5 lb/ci with a 5% or 250 lb. weight reduction for an automatic transmission. Is that a correct interpretation?

Also, I'm wondering about the available Mopar combo's. Obviously, Scott Gove's wicked-fast Daytona has piqued my curiosity. What block and head castings are the best to use? Does a small (358-394 ci.) engine require two Dominators or is it better to go with two 850's or a similar setup? What's the typical operating RPM range of these engines? Who would be a good resource for this type of info?

As much time as I've spent around Hemi's, I have no experience with Modified engines and any advice (regardless of the source) would be much appreciated.
