Bobby DeArmond 427 Camaro record breaker article

[Chevy454]

With all the cars juggling between AA/S and A/S it's a bit of a "hide and watch" thing!

BTW: how did the 427/425hp combo get the aluminum heads legal?

[Salvatore]

Stock like SS is kinda getting out of hand. It is all about people wanting to see 9 second runs in my opinion. Maybe they should go back to running on their national record instead of the index. Then you won't see cars running 1.170 seconds under. I believe NHRA added 10 horsepower to the 427 which in turn more weight had to be added to run the aluminum head. I think that is what was done. The 396/375, 4 speed cars seem to be the lick for A/Stick. The novas are jumping in there also. A little less weight and they are running A/SA or A/S with the 396.

Thanks Jim. There is the current run down. We will see some good runs at the first DIV-1 Opener at Atco coming up. Depends alot on the air! Tome Baird and Steve Ficcaci should be there along with some pretty fast Mopars and the Shelbys. I will report back!

[JLerum]

Love the Stock Eliminators keep us posted.

I was at Englishtown in 92 and looked Ficcaci car over the blue car he had then was a 67-Z it even had the cut out from the cowl air cleaner. Cool car.

[JLerum]

Steve is still the record holder right now in A/S.

A/S is kinda wild right now, with folks going up/down in classes...some of the elite A cars occasionally drop to B to rain on that parade...
