A different SSGT question?

Not so ,it starts at gt/ga

I thought for Super Stock that you can use any intake manifold as long as it is configured the same as the original manifold.

Wow,I didn't know a 74 Duster was so heavy. In GT/HA it will have to weigh 3666 minimum. I'll have to put 290lbs into my Sport Fury just to touch the GT/HA minimum with the 70 383. I'm not sure how I'm going to do that yet, Paul.

I'm not sure who you're saying should have read the whole post, me or you. I'm trying to figure out the GT weight thing myself but the way it reads on the NHRA site, the 74 Duster has a shipping weight of 3242 max and adding 250 to that =3492. 304 HP X 11.5 factor for GT/HA=3496 which means this car can not run GT/HA as a 74 with the 70 383 and it will have to run a full cage which is what I was trying to say in my first post. The good news is as a 75 it will make the class as the shipping weight is high enough, Paul..
