Hi Barry !! ..Yes, We're talking about the same cars! Yep, they're the "new" ones!!! The Factory Built Super Stock/Comp cars that have the super soft HP rated "showroom" engine combos that were built in the true spirit of stock and have since been approved for Traditional Stock Eliminator...Unfortunately or fortunately depending on your side of the fence, they're here to stay. More being built as we speak.- (We're not talking about the FS cars that were correctly put into their own classes.) - Top Stock would be a great venue for the "new" stockers to showcase their true HP. And with the sponsor having some skin in the game, I think it's pretty easy to see the "new" direction of Top Stock.

Let me get this straight: 8.25# per NHRA factored plus 170# for driver, .5 Pro Tree, passenger seat removal, Pro Ladder, sticks and auto combined, NHRA Stock rules, higher qualified car has lane choice first round, rest of eliminations quicker car has lane choice. Fuel and scales.

I would like to see winner have carburetor looked at, lift checked at valve, and P&G. On lift at the valve run adjuster down to zero lash and take reading, that way the LS1 does not have to pull the head. This check should take 30 to 45 minutes, I hope
