Pure Stock Challange - Ohio May 2014

[Ed Wright]

Bullet cams & converters isn't what pure stock used to be.

Glad to see interest in pure stock, I would be interested in some sponsorship for P/S runoffs. Lloyd Riley RCE machine works.

COOL...

Thanks Lloyd

Will forward to Mike Beard...

Ed Wright:
Good point but Neither is STOCK ---STOCK

STOCK today is more like SS without the monster cam and porting!!

My car has a Bullet Cam specs out legal using Stock Valve Springs.
BUT drive the car to the track and get 20mpg.

Can you do that with your Stocker ??

My pure stocker has Bullet cam that meets specs for lift,duration,and overlap,and valve springs check on stock specs also 80 lbs@1.710 /160 @1.??? that # got pushed out by new info have to look up,LOL
I think converter rule was hard to enforce,used to be stock then went to 2500 stall then changed to no rule on stall..

IHRA Pure Stock rules have been largely unchanged for many years.

Aftermarket camshafts are permitted, but "must check on or under factory specs for lift, duration, and overlap." Transmissions must be stock, unaltered, except for shift kit. Aftermarket converters are allowed.

IHRA Rulebook is available online, see Pure Stock on page 47-48: http://www.mydigitalpublication.com/...tion/?i=136499


donc - thanks for your support! Will send you a PM.

NHRA had pure stock before IHRA existed. They were pure stock. Didn't last long. No much participation then either.

Dan, I don't have a stocker. Have no desire to drive what I do have on the street.

It used to be a nine second NA street car that still got close to 20 mpg. :-)

LOL.....

YEAH remember it well, ran Pure Stock in 19(oh)73
Then the Blueprinted cams replaced that because of creative cheating.
Which is basically what we have today as Pure Stock..


But you make a point.
Heck the new Mustangs can run a 9 second ET and can get 20mpg.
Just need a Supercharger..

[Ed Wright]

I didn't need a supercharger.

Impressive.
Just curious: What RPM did that 9 second N/A engine idle at ?

[Ed Wright]

1200.
Still hanging on an engine stand out in the shop. Want to buy it?
