Getting into Super Stock

Hey everyone!

I am new to the Motorsport want to get into Super Stock racing! I live in SoCal about 10 minutes from Pomona drag strip. I have a 70 mustang coupe that I plan on turning into a super stock machine. I have some questions in regard to classes and motors. I am looking running in the modified class. Anyone here run the modified class? What class would be best? To my understanding I can use any ford production motor and the class I get put into is based off race weight divided by cubic inches. With that being said I am looking at the SS/DM class so I can run a 302. My question for the engine is how do these super stock engines make so much power with stock stroke etc? I do know this is not going to be cheap but I plan on taking it in stages as finances allow. Any and all advice is appreciated!

Thanks!
