I love that car. I've been a slant six guy since my dad bracket raced a high 15 second 65 Dart in the mid 70s. I do know slant sixes are difficult to make power with, and I believe Mike had to get a bit of horsepower taken away from his combo to become competitive.

Yes he did, but he's done well enough to get it all back too. The car will still run .95 under on a really good day.

SS/PA = 12.65 index (traditional Super Stockers)
SS/GS = 13.85 index

So I guess a 13.85 is as slow as a SS can go ?

Yes it is. In IHRA the index is 14.35 same rules and weight break.
I've run the SS/PA index (in front of NHRA)
