Most NHRA cars that showed up at IHRA races left their cars in bracket mode and were top top qualifiers .. I don't mean to be disrespectful, and maybe I'm wrong and missing something here, , but there is ( I mean was) no comparison ..And it don't madder anyway

Bracket mode means you turn the wick down during eliminations.
Until there is a heads up race.
Even then racers move up and down a Class to avoid one.

New aftermarket pieces for Stockers are just CM engines without saying it!
No shame in it..IHRA CMs are natural documented replacements.
What we have now anyway is Modified Stock and Super Stock.

A real Stock Eliminator Class will have to be recreated!
