Got a rulebook, or been to a race to look around?

9000 rpm vs 6800 rpm plus some other incidental stuff.

Difference between Stock and Super Stock is basically allowing a little more freedom in modifying your vehicle between both categories. Super Stock will allow you to have a more intense building of your motor such as aftermarket aluminum rod, different crankshaft, more compression that the original motor came with, better intake but must retain the original carb. You're allowed to have a better rear suspension(4 link is the norm with shortening of the rear end and the use of wheel tubs to allow for bigger and wider tires) all these modification aren't allowed in stock eliminator. Stock most appear to be stock and are allowed only certain modifications such as blueprinting of the engine and transmission, rear end must stay within the factory specs. I hope this helps. Both are great categories to watch and race in, most of the racer are great bunch of guys who will have no problem sharing more information than I can. Enjoy. CR

What rulebook did you get that out of? Those are okay in the modified S/S classes but definitely NOT in regular S/S or SS/GT.

Stocker2 I was just trying to explain the difference in a simple easy to understand way. Look ,what do you expect from someone who throws grenade for a living. my motto "as long as it's close".CR

Re: Stock/Super Stock Difference
 

And I was just trying to make sure the correct information was given as an answer because "as long as it's close" does not work in the teardown barn.


X-Tech Man best summed it up. More $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

About $20k difference in motors.

Re: Stock/Super Stock Difference
 

The short version is that a Stocker is limited by 9" wide slicks, un-modified body including wheel tubs, no trans brakes.
As for the engine difference, a Stocker is limited to stock lift cam with stock type lifter for that engine and stock rockers too, where as a Super Stocker has use of any valve train, generally radical roller cams with billet rocker systems. The Stocker is supposed to use factory "un-ported" heads and intake manifold where the SS get highly massaged heads and any intake, but they both have to use the factory carb for that combination.

It's complicated beyond this, but I hope this helps a little. TP
