I will be cheering for Alan at home in Oklahoma watching on All Access, but those of you at the Houston race should go by and personally thank Alan for taking the time to share information with us at Moparts.

I just wanted to say thanks for sharing....

Prostock has been, and probably always will be, my favorite class. Ever since I was a little kid, I knew I wanted to race in prostock. And specifically, in a Mopar. As time went by, I learned my way around some friends race cars and eventually was old enough to get my own....Been racing Mopars ever since. Mind you not prostock, just brackets and what ever the budget allowed for. Had plenty of cars over the years, but usually Cuda's....

I remember trying to learn everything there was to know about the secretive prostock group...Even got to hang out in the pits with a few of the Mopar prostocks at National trails a few times. I always loved seeing the Mopars kick ass.

Always appreciate it when racers share there stories...I still race, and yes, its usually in a Cuda or a Duster....And as you do, I wish there was more support for racers and manufacturers....Seems like this hobby is going to go thru a big change soon....

Keep up the good work Alan, and maybe we will bump into you one of these days.

One of the topics of conversation is the availability (or lack of it) of good blocks and to a lesser degree, good heads.

Is the availability of the pieces you use a potential problem or is there plenty of that stuff around now that you're the last guy standing? Is anyone using the basic components for anything other than Pro Stock or are they pretty much built for that application?

I would be interested to know what a Pro Stock engine might have for cranking compression....

Also how many runs before the valve job would need attention typically?

Thank you!

Not Pro Stock but comp eleminator in the 90's and it was 15 runs and it motor out for a freshen up.But it was the rings that were the issue.May have changed now with those fancy ring packs that are out there.

Alan, do you guys run a timing curve on your ignition? Obviously, I'm not talking about a normal idle to 2,500 rpm curve. I was wondering if the ignition timing is varied on upper rpm levels (from launch rpm to shift point) or is piston speed at a point that it doesn't change much.
