What class is my 98 LT1 FBird?

Ed,

I've never seen an aluminum spool or gun-drilled axles with scalloped flanges from the factory either, but I bet most fast Stockers have them. So, it's OK to seriously lighten all the parts that spin, thus reducing rotating weight and improving performance, and it's OK to build your own housing with any axle tubes you want, or to whatever length you want (just look at some cars and you see what I'm talking about), get real?

Robert,

My post was not meant to discredit your car, only to point out the facts. I don't really care either way, I'm just tired of Hawk taking heat for his combbination when there are dozens of cars with stuff that wasn't even close to being available from the factory.

Woody,

I've been to the Ford proving grounds many times and seen wild combinations of cars and trucks, one being a Ford GT engine (550 HP V8) in an F-250, but that doesn't make it legal to run one in Stock. We also tested a '92 Camaro with all the '93 equipment. It was a Chevrolet prototype and we had it at our office for evaluation.
