I owned a hobby car in the mid 90's before they had a cubic inch limit and compression ratio limit so were running against 406 and strokers. I had good drivers. here are the specs 360 ci, 8.8 compression, 882 heads, hydraulic crane cam around 525 lift. 4 releif pistons. trans was a th350 in third gear with a stock torque converter ran a ford 9 inch the rest of the car specs you won't even beleive but here the are: stock right rear spring out of gbody, g body elcamino left rear, both were new though, monroe sensatrack rear shocks, racing front shocks stock mount, 900 and 1000 springs. you will love the next one 215 70 14 rear tires [to lower rear of car to promote weight transfer], big right front 15 inch tire [used this as a weight jack], big 14 inch left front. now for the wins first year 1/4 mile track no wins second year same small track and 1/2 mile track 6 wins 3 each second in points at both tracks. The second year the wins were by two differnt drivers when I switched drivers at the small track they made the new driver start 17th and he won! never drove the car before but he had his own street stock that he raced at the same track. This car loved dry tracks One added note tech guy measured wheel base one time by measuring from front of rim to front of rim and didn't like one bit that our wheel base was 3/4 inch different side to side he even went as far to tell me it was the wrong lead which I always run left side lead I just laughed because I figured if he couldn't figure out the rim deal he wasn't going to figure out the lead.
