Nice races but none of these were factory stock...I think the best MPH was 109 back in the day.

Not a chance they ran 11's STOCK...The fastest & quickest cars "back in the day was 13.30s @ 109 or so by memory...Hot Rod magazine had large ad and reward for anyone that could ever produce proof a STOCK car got in 12's...NO TAKERS...

454 Chevelle’s ran 12’s stock.
Pretty much any big block Chevy with headers/carb upgrade went into the 11’s
100% stock I don't see that happening. Sure minor tweaks they could but not 100% as delivered by Chevy. They make about the same RWHP as a stock 01 Cobra but better TQ. On stock tires it's not going to 60 foot hard enough to run 12s IMO.
corvetteforum said:PURE STOCK - they do allow the motor to be NHRA blue printed, for example my 71 LS6 came with 9 to 1, they allow me to go to 11 to 1, hence i just did it after the fall race, the other LS6 car goes 11.90's. You must run the stock heads, intake, block, carb (no double pumpers if the car came with a vacumm holley). You can run a 2 1/2 inch exhaust with either an H or X pipe, mandrel is ok, mufflers must be stock appearing and crimped, no flowmasters, dyno max ultra flow is the choice of the vettes, side pipes will kill cost you 3 tenths. You must run the stock transmission, any gear, they run wide ratio muncies and 4.56 gears. The cam must be stock specs, and they say that the crane blue print cam is the best out there. Roller tips are legal, full rollers are not. They loosen the front sway bar, no drag shocks, look at the way the launch. The trick is to use worn out front shocks to get the weight transfer. If a car runs 11.99 or faster, they want to inspect it and then they pump it for stock bore .090 over is max and compression, check spring pressure, No roller cams allowed and put a bore camera down the carb to look for undercut valves and dome pistons (if car had flat tops, it must still have flat tops), no head porting of any kind is allowed, no gasket matching either. The most impressive car to run is JJ's silver L88, as it is a 4 speed and he can shift it like no body else out there, all of the other quick 8 cars are automatics. 3 of the 4 top cars are l88's, with the other one being my buddy Bob K's hemi cuda, no one has run a ZL1 vette as of yet, but dan Jenson told me he would not have a problem allowing one to race. In my opinion, it better be either white or yellow and have the stripe.The top racers in pure stock spend alot of time and money to get these things to run, the others just have the most fun you can have with your clothes on, great group of guys, they hang out on the V8 buick board under the pure stocker boards
01 cobras make 400+ whp and trap 107+. Crazy.
you guys are all dreaming...not on STOCK TIRES...PROOVE IT, you can't...show me the article...Ronnie Sox didn't run stock tires...DO ALL OF YOU KNOW WHAT STOCK MEANS?
