But If there are just not that many races to run with it Might make more sense to just keep running the brackets.
So if we install this right out of the crate with a 750 Holley T-350 or metric tranny, at legal weight can we qualify?---Or does the motor have to be "worked" like in the NHRA classes.

IHRA runs an ALL RUN FIELD so qualifying isnt an issue. Being FAST is as most are shall we say "Enhanced" like the NHRA cars.
