New Crate Engine Build
Hello All, I am returning to stock elmin. after 19 year hiatus. (ran a Ls6 Chevelle in B/SA for 25 years) I plan to build a ZZ6 405 hp from scratch. I am way out of date! I am looking for advice on the cam & ring combo please. I realize some hate crates, but it is affordable to me at this point. Thank you.

Re: New Crate Engine Build
Didn't IHRA drop Stock and Super Stock a couple years ago? If so, it wouldn't really make sense to build a crate motor if there's nowhere to race it. Am I missing something?

Re: New Crate Engine Build

Re: New Crate Engine Build
I know it's not my money, but it doesn't make much sense to build a car for an obsolete class. Yes you can run some Nat Opens, etc. but if you build a NHRA stocker you can run (or sell Later) anywhere.

Re: New Crate Engine Build
Gentlemen, Thank you for your expert advice! I am running only the CamAm deal & the Cdn. National Open. If we do lose the crate deal, I can change the heads/intake & run stock. I am planning to build a legal flat top short block. Touring is not cost effective at this point. I appreciate the info!
