I am quite sure he did.
For me it turned out great because the very first pass I made in the car at an NHRA event I went 1.4xx under the index and set the Q/SA record on the next pass that day.

Lucky for me I guess.

Congratulations. You make a good point. If you look carefully you "might" find a real alternative to Building a car and cheaper too. My thought these are few and far between and if a guy wants to just start and not enjoy heads up racing a sealed motor car could be fun and cheap.

What do you think a car would have to run to be competitive in this class?

Wow, an optimist. How much do tech men allow regular class winners to cheat? With tech I think most would be aware of people out to cheat...

"Cheater" Heads/Intake manifolds have been out and around since before 1985. It has only gotten more expensive and more sophisticated. NHRA allowed it to happen since day one. Why do you think they allowed the valve job changes? I fought it years ago and had a cpl of meetings with the sportsman contact in NHRA (Forgot his name for the moment) at the PRI shows to no avail. He couldn't get NHRA to go along with it. He no longer works for NHRA but has been on this forum a few times in the past. Over the years you now have what you have. There WILL BE WAYS the racers will learn to get around the rules. I guarantee it. I have some water front property for sale in Arazon if you think Im BS'ing.

I had the same question. What do you guys think a legal LS car would have to run to be competitive? We'd have to change the 4L60E in our C5 (if that can even be done to a glide) but this class interests me. Pure Stock is too slow and after a COPO went 9.80 in B/SA at Indy there is no way we can compete with that.

More budget class. I haven't seen trans rule yet.... I would be happy if they limited it to PG only or TH 350...Fewer choices, less money chasing the magic .1. Drive it to win...

Glass bumpers, hoods and deck lids. Plus mini tubs doesn’t sound much like stock to me.
