Default Pro Mod drag cars

Lately I've been going to watch the Pro Mods race at our local 1/8th and they kick ***!!! So, what can ya'll tell me about them (as I know some of you have or have crewed or know a lot about them).

How huge are the cubic inches that they run? Are there really any rules or is it the ultimate "run what you brung" class?

Pro Mod definetly is BADASS!

Since you mentioned local 1/8 mile track I'd assume this is an Outlaw Pro Mod deal, and so its essentially run whatcha brung. Common Combos?

632-707ci Nitrous Mills using between 2 to 4 stages of Nitrous

500-526ci Blown Alcohol

Turbo'd Small or Big Blocks (Only at Outlaw races not NHRA/IHRA Pro Mod Legal).

Transmission normally would be a lenco w/ a clutch.

Note these are *common* unspecific combos, I wouldn't doubt seeing a Blown Small Block, or another off the wall combo.

It takes a minimum of ~1700-1800hp to be even remotely in the fiel, w/ many of the cars (Turbo and Blower cars primarily) making in excess of 2200hp.

These cars are the baddest Doorslammers anywhere, running as fast as 5.98 recently in the 1/4 mile, w/ Low 6s being the consistent field.

Ditto to that!!!!

I love outrageous door cars, and Pro-Mod is top of the heap!

Yeah, Outlaw Pro Mod.

Most of these cars are nitrous, some hitting 3 stages in the 1/8

Top qualifier last week ran 4.12@177ish but the race was rained out. Good news is they're running again this weekend
