NHRA Stock Eliminator cars can't have fancy suspension. They use the factory torque arm. They can use aftermarket LCA and panhard bar but must have bushings (no heim joints). Posi's and spools are allowed and only a GM differential can be used in a GM car so they usually use a 12 bolt.

E/SA and F/SA records are held but fourth gens running high 10's and only on a 9" wide slick.

Even N/SA and O/SA records are held by third gens. Probably both V6 cars and running high 11's and low 12's. Again, they can only use the above mentioned suspension.

I've got an '87 IROC that still has the original Billstein shocks and a TOTALLY stock suspension that has 104k miles on it. I'm pulling 1.73 60' times.

I've seen a '92 Formula with a big block pulls 10s on a bone stock suspension except subframe connectors. 10.7x at 125 if I remember right.

Update guys, Finally realizing that I wasnt burning out correctly, my best with a 125 off the line now is 1.63, I will spray more and get into the 1.5s. Remember all this is done with a stock open rearend. I did a motor run, flashed it, peeled out alittle, and got a 1.84.
