Default Re: NHRA ProStock changes coming!

Candies went 7.85 at Indy over 1000 lbs. heavier than the current Pro Stock minimum. Granted, that was a 4.0L blower (as opposed to 2.3L or 2.9L on the FS cars), but that may very well end up being what those cars run in the new "Pro Stock" too. The rules will have to be much more liberal than FS to make the differentiation between the two obvious to Joe Blow fan as well.
When I read about possible PS changes, the first car I thought about was the P.B. Candies CJ Mustang.

My idea would be to take a Super Stocker like that and allow any cu.in. ( up to 500) so long as the outside dimensions of the block are the same as factory issue. So any bore /stroke.

Use a factory body template as a go- no-go gauge and allow fiberglass doors, trunk lid, etc.


My question tho is, will the new PS be required to be naturally aspirated ?
Or...allow the blowers that are legal in S/S ?

Ever how that NHRA does this, the new PS cars will have to be a step above the current Super Stockers.
