B&M car was Terry Allison. Long been sold and went slower after the new owner did his tricks to make it go faster.
Rear disc brakes not needed. Sway bar not needed. Just happy crap people think they need to go fast like 9" ford rears and powerglides. Both big power wasters. Sorry if I offened anyone.
LT 346 HP
LS 369 and 373 depending on hood.
Al would have had to go 9.900 or faster to get automatic HP since the index in A was 11.30 at the time.
The car that has the advantage is the one that has the lower number when you divide the weight by the measured HP.

I know Al did that once at the Winter Nationals at Pomona, CA. Probably other places. You have to do it twice to trigger a "review" of hp ratings.
Honeymoon at the races? Rich, your a very brave man! Don't think I could have ever pulled that off. Been married 45 years now, she could care less anymore. If I'm racing, I'm not in her hair.

I pulled a LOL in my garage when I saw it!Some of the Stock Eliminator chassis builders weld up all the seams/overlaps around the strut towers. I was at FJ Smith's shop about 10 years ago when he was doing this to one of the cars he was building. According to him, it did help some with front end ridgidity......not a lot (according to Fred), but some.
Here's a few more I really like that hugger orange car

Rich could give you a better answer for that. I don't keep up with the NHRA hp factors for stock, but he was probably 3100/3200 or so.

Ed look close at the pic posted on this page
do you have to run the stock PCM? whats the rules on that and the wiring harness? that car also has the stock pcm moved, or gone?
tim you have any underhood pics of you can in that setup?is looks really killer
So everyone probally runs a 12bolt for the low driveloss. And auto cars running a 10bolt? 8.5 or somthing?
you run the rear drums so you can setthem up for zero drag right?, are they lighter with the alum rotors on the stock parts? or are they some other lighter drums?

The weight Corda was at was prolly closer to 3080 w/driver in A/SA.
I chose to run the stock pcm in my car and had a harness made for just what I needed it looks alot cleaner to me that way its all hidden. The stock pcm is no power loss on these motors if you have a good tuner (hmmmm futral hmmmm)
Most guys run the Fast or Big stuff 3 there are some cars with the holley commander setup still too.
You can run your computer of choice for management.
There is none of these cars with 10 bolts that I've ever seen.
I run the strange discs on the rear also no drums.
Like was said above these motors have to have stock t/b unported,unported cyl heads and stock intake. Mine is only 346 inches now too, you are allowed a .070 overbore which I chose not to do. I went 10.78 at 3250 pds which isn't bad for my first year I don't think, we did our own motor too.

Several do use a 12 bolt. have to run a pro gear. I lost teeth off of two before going to "pro" gears, no problems since.
My disk brakes don't drag. They spin as easily as drums. Not sure why some use drum brakes, but I do see them.
If I remember right back when Corda first ran in the 9's the weight was around 2900 -2950 and the HP was around 346. That was the min weight he could be. That does not mean that is how much he weighed or he may not have been hanging it all out.
Tricks. You can call them that but most of it is super detailed engine building to the rules of the class and picking the right combo of trans, converter, and gear. Heads are poured for CC volume on the chamber, the intake port, and the exhaust port.
