NHRA Super Street tech

HR 9505 · 05-24-2016, 02:55 PM

I'm looking into running a few lucas oil Div races in Super Street and was wondering what are the major things that the tech guys look for other than the obvious like belts and such? The car passes IHRA tech fine but I know NHRA tech is more strict. To keep from having any confusion on what I have here is a list of my setup

55 chevy 3500#
stock firewall
stock floor
full cage
window net
Powerglide trans with Reid case (internal shield)
no flexplate shield
SFI balancer
SFI flexplate
Rear fuel cell (w/ ground strap)
alcohol car (w/ electric pump)
Car will be less than 135 mph

Anything else that sticks out to anyone that I will need?

Thanks in advance.

I believe you have to have a diaper and other than that just make sure all your SFI stuff is up to date. Also sfi padding around roll cage where your head can come in contact

The SFI padding is a over 135 mph or SG. You also need your header collectors welded or tethered. Oh and you'll need an Easy Button just ask Keith

just bring an extra $20, tell them to get dinner on you.... no easy button needed

now I will be inspected with a fine tooth comb. lol

Don't forget the collector tethers.
