School me on Stock Eliminator?
Finally found that weight line in the spread sheet. For some reason, I never saw that guide, would have been helpful if I had found it sooner.
2,707 is a light car but again I'm not sure how much weight a roll bar or 8 3/4 would add. I wouldn't be surprised if the car ended up close to 3,000 lbs. with gas and me in it.
According to the auto math handbook, to go 11.9 I need 350hp @ 3,000 lbs. That's 350 hp at the wheels now. Considering a 20% driveline loss, that ends up being around 280 at the wheels. Probably not going to cut it. This is why this is so difficult - you are correct, the car needs to be super light - under 2,800 lbs and I need to make at least 300 or more at the wheels to be competitive even in K/SA. This means I need my little 273 to make around 375 hp with an old iron intake, Carter AFB, unported heads with tiny valves and a small bore. That's some magical cam with only .4xx" of lift!
How much of that ET is chassis set up, I'm not sure. Caltracs help, but that's about all you get.
I guess that's why I'm torn - do I go at this project or just take the easy way out and put a stroker in it and have fun. I'm not going to compete as a novice anyway, so as I've said before, I'd bracket race it until I got to be a better racer.
273 parts are pretty hard to come by too. Ever try finding one of those AFBs?
Ahhhhhh, choices choices.
