GMHTP Budget Stock Motor Shootout@etown (from tgo) must read

[project89]

i figure some ppl here would be intersetd in this


GM High-Tech Performance magazine is looking for good looking, stock motor Third and Fourth Gen Fbodies for a shootout in Englishtown, NJ's Raceway Park. This closed track event will take place Tuesday, August 1st at Old Bridge, NJ by invitation only. Those invited will be allowed as many passes as time allows while the GMHTP staff snaps photos for use in an upcoming article in the magazine. All cars must comply with Raceway Park's 95db noise restrictions and NHRA safety rules.

Stock longblocks including the cam, heads, internals, and block must all be utilized, however, all bolt-ons (including rocker arms) are acceptible as well as forced induction. Intake manifolds must be of stock style, meaning no carb-style or multiple throttle bodies. Racing transmissions such as TH350s, TH400s, Powerglide, or clutchless manuals are prohibited. Stock or built 4L60E, 700R4, T-56 or T-5 are acceptible so long as they were available from the factory in that model year. Any rear end (10 bolt, 12 bolt, 9-inch, Dana, 8.8 hybrid, etc) is acceptable as is any tire size or compound, so as not to require tubs or minitubs. Stock style suspension must also be utilized, so no ladder bars or 4-links. We would like to keep the entrants fairly streetable and stock appearing, meaning no completely stripped down racecars. To apply email an overall, engine, and interior .jpg to scott.parker@primedia.com along with timeslips, dyno numbers, estimate of total money spent, a list with your build up and NHRA safety equipment, home, work and cell phone numbers. The deadline for applications is June 4, and all invitees will be notified no later than June 18.

[Bandit]

Sent my info in.. Only thing on my car is the exhaust, pulley and gears.. will see.

[project89]

just sent my in also,looks like i wont be putting on the gmpp heads anytime soon

[NJSPEEDER]

i can see this contest being dominated by LS1 cars. there are a ton of bolt on LS1's around the region as fast or faster than 80% of the 3rd gen power adder cars out there. not sure what the LS1 stock internal+power adder record is, but i am betting it will be out of reach for L98 and most LT1 guys.
