Jim Bailey is also right. We know what will happen to this combo in the next year and a half.

So, if anyone is going to do it as a street car...get off the pot, as they say. Then let us know if you can cut a light and run within 5 hun, back to back. Anxiously awaiting the results.

I'm sure you guys know what you're talking about, and I'm not going down that road if the impending "Baby Jet" is going to make it impossible for me to continue.

Nobody said it would be "Impossible to continue", it just may require you to spend some money and do some work, just like all the other Stockers have had to do for decades.

Baer's kits are about $900 per end, and the rear one has no provisions for a parking brake. They claim their brake kits will save a bunch of weight. I think these cars will comfortably run under their current index(es) with the stock brakes (although I would avoid the Performance Package car because of it's even larger front brakes).

Alan's probably got the right idea- a set of drag radials on the stock rear wheels, an off-road down-pipe, a "tune", install the required safety equipment, and it should run under anywhere.

He makes them. You just have to call. But if that's the case, off road pipe and a tune, that's the way I would go.

.33 off the K/SA index. With an off-road down-pipe and no exhaust system, that car would probably be under index.

Does it need a roll bar for K/SA?

I am just trying to get this whole conversation clear in my mind, is this being proposed as some sort of cheap and easy way to build a Stocker (which it absolutely won't be)? In my mind there are an infinite number of better and cheaper ways to approach Stock class if that's the plan, buying someone's complete finished car comes to mind. Or is this just some sort of philosophical debate (which often happens on Class Racer)?

Cheap way to build a Stocker ?....No

Easy way ? Not really if you plan to pull the interior out yourself to add a roll bar.

Philosophical debate ? Maybe...

...Or maybe the OP wants a Stocker he can drive to and from the track.

In the end, it's not a cheap Stocker

Like Alan said, it will not be a cheap Stocker.
Someone will take their street car, do a few mods, go under the index.


Then there will be the hardcore racer that will buy a one, strip everything out, build a killer engine, destroy the index and put it out of competition.


Lets not forget what happened to the Buick Grand Nationals...

Does it use something like a waste gate to limit boost?

Maybe I should have said "not financially viable for me".
