Has anyone tried running an a-body in V/Stock Automatic in NHRA/IHRA competition? I am looking at running a 70-74 a-body with a 198 or a 225 and due to the constraints of the factory intake and carburetor I have some concerns that I could have a car about 2900-3000lbs run the index 15.80 or quicker. I a met a gentleman that was running (unsuccessfully) a 1980 Diplomat with a 2bbl carb on a 225 in U/Stock Automatic. If anybody has run a /6 combination in stock I would love to know about it.

Thank you

There is a guy running a Duster NHRA car up in Washington state with some success. He has posted about it on www.slantsix.com a few times. He posts under the name of pmaravitz (or something close to that).

There was also a guy in Florida who was trying to run a Super Six Mirada. I used to get pictures from him once in a while, but I haven't heard from him in a couple years. From the pictures he sent me it was gonna be a very good looking car.

The Diplomat was for sale on racingjunk.com. Nice looking car, but I wonder if it runs the number.

At that price I bet it didn't run index. However, that is a steal. Parts alone gotta be worth more than $4500.

i dont't appreciate the comment about my car.i had the gear ratio and the tire size wrong. i need to add more to my convertor and then it will run the number. then it will be successful. tim

Doint pay no attention to that Bagel Bomber. Most of the time his cars wont get down the track run the number or index. After all he lives in the windy city.Thanks Possum
