What class could I run if I wanted to keep my holleys

They work good on the street and I find them easy to work on plus they are paid for






Minimum would be C/FX 9.75 or quicker; B/FX 9.50; A/FX 9.25; AA/FX 9.00 or AAA/FX 8.75




Ok 9’s is not going to happen I’m more in the high to mid 10 zone, so what class can I run if I keep my holleys.
I like my combo for how the car is used; now I’d like to attend more racing events. I’m ok not fitting in with the NSS class but would like to participate with similar type cars.
Not Honda Accords, new diesel trucks, tuners, Suv’s, etc.

the national set of rules were laid out to try and preserve the original intent of the class.




Ok, but along that line of thinking regardless of what carbs ARE allowed (that never came stock on some of them) wouldn't it at least make sense to allow carbs that DID come stock on them? I have no dog in this hunt, just curious.

In the NMCA you could run the nostalgia muscle car class. 10:50 or 11:00 flat class with your et. lots of nice cars in that class.

...well if you are not willing to swap carbs your are stuck with test and tune with the ricers and bracket racing..imo you should swap carbs and test the waters of NSS..have you looked at the NSS race format?..it is index style racing, with the first(non-afx) index starting at NSS/A(10.00) and works it's way up to (in .50 increments)to NSS/E(12.00)...like most others have already stated you won't lose much et switching to the eddy style carbs. put on the eddys and see what your car will run and which class you fit into.. ...give it a try ..you have WAY too nice of a car to be wasting time with the ricers.
and on a side note...there is no law saying you have to use some HIGH $ carbs...i bought mine off of ebay..got less than $250 in both of them. a good cleaning and a fresh rebuild and they were good to go.(i did make jet & metering rod changes tho)

Thank you , that’s exactly what I’m looking for. I’d like to run one more year before switching carbs. I like to do one change at a time on the car, run it several times, and record the results. Switching carbs as well as all the other weight loss and suspension updates I plan on doing this season may get me in a tail spin. I’m rather new to racing so sometimes I have to learn the hard way.

I now understand going to eddys wont kill my et. My intension was not to wrinkle any feathers. I wanted to know more about eddy carbs and classes. I built a street car with a cross ram for fun and did a lot of t&ts last summer at some tracks and now I’m starting to get it in my blood.
