Jerry MacNeish won Best Engineered Race Car at the IHRA Presidents Cup race at MIR recently. Also won his class with his 1967 Z/28 in D/S. Car is starting to run real good in Stock Eliminator. Header, clutch and some suspension modifications are starting to pay off. You can see his 10.73 run at Cecil if you type his name in on YouTube! Turn the volume up! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

Nice. There's a guy that "walks the walk", not just a "talker". Impressive, to say the least.

YEP, Actually he is pretty good on the tree! Atco this weekend and then The Dutch Classics at Maple Grove. I bet the car dips into the 50's with this good air. NHRA doesn't give much of a break to the 302's. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

That's incredible! And a stock 302?

Well, NHRA stock which is more stock than superstock! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

Read the rules, cam has to be stock lift, .485 for Z28, no head work, stock intake, rocker arms, valve springs, carb, rods, pistons, crank, etc. That is flat out flying! Car has to weigh 3100-3200 lbs with that little 302?

No stock duration. Valve springs are stock appearing but way stronger, the clutches are about $3,000 along with the headers and the Jerico 4 speeds are around $4,000. Rocker arms, crank, rods, carb etc are not slowing it down. The intake may take a few hp away but not much. I believe??? they all acid port the heads because everybody does so who cares. Also the ignition is much better. Ask Jerry what his compression ratio is. I bet it is not 11 to 1. Yes, all in all a very fast motor and car but not as stock as the average Joe thinks. Stock eliminator has come a long way and so has the research and development. Look how fast the 350/255 horse camaros and novas are. In the 10's with a Q-jet, cast iron intake and a mush lifter cam! Thats moving! Jerry is running down Atco this weekend I think. If the air is good and he can get hooked I am hoping to hear that he ran in the 10.60's or maybe in the high 50's. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

He may tell you if you ask him. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

Hp around 450 http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[Kim_Howie]

How about a 69 chevelle stocker with a 327 250 hp tipping the scales at 3430 and a PG trans. clicking off 10.70s.
Now how about a 70 nova running c/s tipping the scales at 3690 almost 3700 lbs. with a 396 -375 stocker running a 10.46 that's fast. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[Salvatore]

YES, YES and more YES! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif
