Hi guys. Very long time lurker but very new to S/SS racing. Here is what I have. Got my two little buddies racing JR's and we are/have been loving it. Problem is my 15yo is outgrowing them rapidly so I'm looking to get him something lined up in a big car. I don't want to go the big dragster route. I want to start him out in a footbrake car that I can let him beat up all weekend yet still run the divisionals when we travel. We are primarily an IHRA family. I also want to get into something we can gradually build into a higher class car as he saves/earns parts and pieces and hopefully get him a nuts and bolts lesson at the same time. Im waiting to take delivery on a 93 Z28 that is currently a very basic almost stock footbrake car. I want to turn it into an IHRA purestocker and eventually make it a crate motor car.
Here is where my question begins. I have tried to figure out which class it will fit in and I cant find the IHRA classification guide. I used the NHRA classification guide and it looks like it will fit into either D/PS or E/PS(???). I found 275 hp and a shipping weight of 3234 lbs (auto/coupe). The NHRA sheet is confusing to me tho, is the factored HP 346? And the class break is 9.35 (so C/SA?)? So at 346 HP the min weight will be 3114 (346 hp x 9.0) plus 170 for 3284lbs for an NHRA/IHRA legal car?? My main question is how does this pertain to the IHRA pure stock classes? If I follow this using the NHRA factored HP it would fit into B/PS but that doesn't seem right. I've seen some others running similar combos in D,E, or even F/PS. If I use the factory 275 it fits into either D or E. I spoke to a local this weekend with a vette with an LT1 that runs E. HELLLPPP!! LOL! Thanks in advance! PS I assume its similar in Crate Motor? Advertised crate HP x whichever class weight break you choose + 170 lbs?? |

I believe that the IHRA has the LT1 at 315 HP for Pure Stock. You might want to give them a call to check.

Kenny:
Welcome to the board. As posted above, you might want to contact Mike Baker @ IHRA for the latest factored h.p. My Pure Stocker ended up being factored lower than a regular Stocker 302 rating of the same year. ![]() I just wished IHRA would post their latest factored h.p. ratings for each combo on the net. And yes...it's factored h.p. times class weight break plus 170lbs= minimum race weight.

The information is out there, you just need to do a little searching to find it!
Here's a link - http://www.ihra.com/component/k2/itemlist/category/208 The way the listings have been updated makes locating the right entry harder, but not impossible. If you use a "find" command in your web-browser (Firefox uses Ctrl+F) you'll be able to locate the most recent updates from the list, instead of having to scroll the entire document. Of course, as mentioned previously, a call or e-mail to the IHRA might also be a good idea! Best of luck with your new project!

Your cars has an Aluminum Head and my Impala an Iron. Both are allowed the F-Body Cam. FWIW contact Mike Baker at IHRA to confirm.. Corbitt Marshburn has a 93 LT1 Camaro and it is set up as B/PS. Add weight C/PS Bullet have a great and legal Blueprinted Grinds available Hope this helps. When you finish the car send me a Picture for the Pure Stock PhotoGallery Dan Last edited by Dan Fahey; 09-10-2013 at 10:01 AM. |

Lew I did do some searching! I found the page you linked me to! It doesn't say anything about a 93 LT1, just 94-97. They are slightly different. THANKS!
Thanks for the help guys. I will get ahold of Mike Baker to confirm. I'll send you some pics soon Dan. Hope to debut it at Lakeland next month if I can get it under the index. Actually gonna debut it at Jackson SC for the Div finals next week, it'll just be in bracket trim, not a Bad ***** Pure Stocker!! |
