Pro Stock help

Hi guys it's been a long time since I posted here. I still check in time to time to see what kind of things you guys are up to. As you may or may not know I've been Racing Pro Stock for the past 4 years. It's been an up-and-down battle but building your own engine program in Pro Stock might be one of the toughest things to do in drag racing. I know there's a lot of negative talk towards Pro Stock. I feel if we can improve over this year and maybe win a few races you guys might be more interested. This year we have had a slow start but I think we have turned the corner at Gainesville as you can see if you checked qualifying out in Q4 Tanner gray was only .025 quicker & less than .6 mph faster than we were and he won the race. The help I'm asking for is to vote me in to the horsepower challenge race so we can prove that Mopar can compete in pro stock.

Awesome to see you post here. Def have my vote and best of luck you !

Thanks for the visit, please come more often and keep us posted.

I continue to enjoy Pro Stock even though you are the only one carrying the Mopar banner.

I think what you have done is incredible, keep after it!

Bill

Happy to support a Mopar Pro Stock driver. I predict Mopars will be top contenders once again in that class.

Good luck!

While the class is having it's challenges, I've always liked Pro Stock. It's pretty much the top of the food chain for NA V8 gasoline powered race engine technology. Anyone swimming in those waters deserve much respect. The problems are up to the teams and NHRA to figure out. I'd like to see it return to the glory days. There was nothing like the rivalries of WJ, R-M, Glidden, Wayne County, etc., etc.

Voted. Good luck!

Alan, as a person who has not kept up with PS the last couple years, I'm sorry to say I haven't heard of you or your team, so I'll ask a hard question. Are you all mopar or just a mopar body with a Chevy engine under the hood? I'm 68 and always a diehard mopar fan so this answer counts a lot to me. Now I certainly appreciate the dedication and hard work any team puts into their program but I can't take it to the highest level of support unless you're all mopar. If so I'll support in any way I can, period.
My personal opinion, NHRA screwed mopar over with silly rules (directed straight at mopar) for the umpteenth time and it's been an uphill battle forever.

Done! Good Luck

I have raced Mopar since I started in 1993 my first car was a 69 Charger. I will only race a Dodge car with a Hemi engine in it. I hope that helps you make your decision. As far as NHRA screwing up Pro Stock that's not true. we will run fast as the Chevys this year.

One more for ya. Good Luck.

Done. Good luck. I think you are doing great concidering that almost everyone else is involved in multi car engine programs.

Can we get this pinned to the top?

Done.Good luck!

Earned my vote

Another vote for Alan

Got my Vote good luck

done- good luck.

I voted and I wish you luck but take one word of advice. Pro Mod.

you got my vote, now I will start watching since there is a mopar in the field again.

Done.. good luck.. been watching you for a while

Done Good luck !!

I voted for you! What about the rev limiter? That has to be a hard one to overcome? No?

done

I don't think any of the rules have hurt us like everybody thinks. I just think we just need to do a better job of making power within the rules. That's what I worked on over the winter and it seems to be paying off.

Thank you Alan. Gentlemen, please remove the tin foil from your hats. lol

He didn't say the rules didn't make it more difficult. If there we 20 mopars out there, it would be easier. To think the RPM rule didn't hurt the dodges is just rediculous.

I seem to remember, that teams continued to use the older design head, because it made better power with higher rpm, rather than start over with R&D on the newer head, and they all fell behind at the rule switch. I'm probably wrong.

I use the new heads.

Thank you.

Not to break your balls or anything like that, I'd like to know what's "Stock" about Pro $tock? Nothing as far as I can see.

NHRA should've renamed that eliminator a long time ago because it has NOTHING in common with the original concept
of that class unlike its lesser brethren, Super Stock and Stock eliminator, which still do albeit it in a very refined and scienced-out state.



Just my pet peeve. Carry on, like the English say.

Done, Glad to see your still at it, I'm a ProStock fan

voted

You just got my vote! Best of luck. Your doing Mopar proud for sure. Thank you!

68shifter and 340Cuda, thanks for the link.

Good luck Alan!

Good luck this year, Alan. Just voted.

Voted, good luck!

Just voted for you Alan! You are the only reason I watch Pro Stock this year. Good luck!! Tom

Voted. What issues killed "Jeggie" and "Erica" a few years back? Is Mopar supplying help?

Mopar doesn't help much but if I win some rounds I'm sure they will. As far as elite I think they gave up to soon.

Voted. Almost gave up hope with Allen Johnson calling it quits,as least with Pro Stock, carry that MOPAR banner as long as possible!!!
Hang tough, Good Luck! Mopower to ya!

I hope you're saying you found some power to stay with the Chevy show.This class has lost too many AJ fans so now you have that weight on your shoulders.Make it happen and the MOPAR fans will be yours.

Done,

So did you vote?

Voted, good luck!

Thanks guys we really appreciate it. Vincent Nobile is on Yellow Bullet doing the same thing but I think you guys are voting more.

Voted. Good-luck

OK guys, not only should you vote but lets pyramid this voting.

Get everyone that you know, to get everyone they know voting.

Alan needs our help on this! Has to be done by April 1st.

Help a Mopar Bro out - the guy works his azz off to run Pro Stock, how about busting yours for some votes!!

Thanks! Now get busy.

I like how you think.

You got my vote.... Good luck

Voted
Now go out there and lay down some numbers we can all be proud of

Gus

Vincent is also wearing a Long Island Needs A Dragstrip sticker on the side window.Would you wear it if I sent them to you?

Got my vote. Go get them Alan

Done, Best of luck Alan

Got my vote!
Your the only reason I have left to watch Pro Stock!
MJ

Got my vote too. I won't watch pro stock with nothing but chebies

Voted once, I am going to see if I can go again with a different email address...

Done

If I wasn't going to vote for you before(which I was), that post would have been enough to change my mind.
Good luck.

Voted. Good Luck!
On another note Roy Johnson said at Maple Grove the Rpm limit hurt his engine program as they were making power well after 10K. They were his words...

I'm not sure of anything a prostock engine builder has to say. I just think we can run as good as the Chevys. If you want to use the rpm as an excuse you will never get there.

I hope you get there and hopefully you have $$$ for the R & D to do it that's the hard part when your a lone wolf.... Good Luck this season!

Done

Done, glad to see you are in for the win, hope your engine development program finds enough horsepower to put the camaro clone crowd back in the trailer where they belong, good luck

Got my vote, and my wifes.

WOW we are getting killed over on Yellowbullet. Even the MOPAR guys are voting for Nobile. That's pathetic.

Amazing...So should I unstick this thread?

I think if guys bump it and keep it fresh it gets noticed more. Maybe it’s just me but I’ve missed stickies before tucked in up top. I read through that Yellowbullet thread some and guys found ways of voting on multiple devices.

I dunno John...I sure would like to see Alan get in. And yes...I voted! You have to remember that The GM guys have us outgunned over at the YB. But you know my philosophy on life and what I have gone thru the last 5 years. With that being said never give up...

In my latest NG on page 18,bits from the pits Alan picked up Windstream that will sponsor him for 3 southeast events.

Good deal! I also put a thread in the general section...

Ohhh trust me the one and only mopar got my vote too. But this site has a lot of guys on it right now that would switch brands in a second.

Done

Good luck Alan, hope you get it done. Got my vote.

Switch brands??
Surely you don't mean Moparts members?

We build/work on a lot of things here - at our shop but- Mopars are the King cars- period.

I would rather lose in a Mopar than win in a chevy, yep, i'm just that messed up and thats how i feel about that.

Done!

Done!! Good luck.

One last bump for Alan!!

[/quote]But this site has a lot of guys on it right now that would switch brands in a second. [/quote]

I'd have to quit messing with cars. I have too much Mopar parts and cars to switch to anything else. Maybe if it had a Mopar engine like a Jensen or Monteverde?

who won?

nobile

I wanted to thank everyone who took time to vote for me. This time we didn't win but next year hopefully I can be one of the top 7. If you guys are interested in what's going with my race season I would be happy to start are own pro stock tech topic just let me know. Thanks again.

I, for one, would really enjoy that. A lot of guys are turning their noses up at Pro Stock, but I still think it's real cool to see just how far you can push a N/A motor.

X2...

n/a engines is the only thing that drives me. I think it's crazy how much power you can make with 500 ci.

I also like the NA, door car stuff. I'd like to see that discussion. The whole package. Engine, chassis, other tidbits. I know a lot of stuff is held close to the vest, but I'd like to see whatever is fair game in the conversation.

Alan...I will be passing out ET slips on the return road this weekend...Good luck.

I'd love to see a thread like that in here.

Thanks for racing the Mopar in Pro Stock and best of luck to you and your team ! Ron

any questions you have just ask. I'm not good enough to hide anything lol.

C'mon. Even I don't tell everything.
