Stock Eliminator?

I was reading the post from a few days ago about bracket racing, caught my attention. how do you run 12.15 on a 305 without porting the heads, cams, swapping manifolds, etc? What are some of the secrets i'm missing out on? where is the extra hp/chassis improvements comming from? are they using those "tosser" cams or what? I've been looking all over and i can't find anything about building a stock eliminator engine or even tips on suspension setup.

That's the challenge of stock eliminator, seeing what you can do with stock heads, intake, crank, stock wt pistons and rods, factory lift cam and stock carb. It takes a whole lot more than just a well built motor to run fast in it. Excellent chassis and suspension set ups are keys to unlocking what lurks inside these motors. I see you live in Div 3, that div along with Div 1 are the 2 with the greatest quantities of stock and super stock racers in NHRA.
While none will tell you everything that they've found, you will find many that will give you some very good tips on various parts and such to get you started.
Another good site to visit is http://www.classracer.com . You can join this one without a fee to post. Also, go to any divisional, open and national events near you and just check out the cars in the pits, ask some questions and listen to what they tell you. There are some very savvy racers in this class.
