A topic started at a sister site (FABO) and moved me to start a thread up, but before you click and read this --->

The idea is to go as fast as you can as cheap as you can. If your the fastest, so what. How cheap was it is the real issue. Showing others how fast you can go for as little as possible is the theme. There are no prizes, no cash awards, no trophys, maybe, jusy maybe a pat on the back and a "Atta boy!" for doin well. Follow all NHRA saftey rules to be safe.
To this end, after many posts banging back and forth, I had some help from Mike at MRL racing to come up with these basic rules/ideas of what "On the Cheap" should be.
So? How does that sound? Can you go fast for peanuts?
Can you show us how you did it and for how much? Cheaper the better!
Care to join members (If possible In Ga. and N.J.?) for a freindly meet and eat at the track while showing off your cheapness but yet quick ride?
Beaters welcomed! What better to use?

How about a simpler set of rules? Something like;
Stock OE iron heads and valve sizes that came in the head.
Porting?
No porting. I'd prefur no porting since it is an extra expense many might not have. If you port it, TELL US, SHOW US! If you have SOMEONE DO IT, tell us, show us.
Home porting should be mild. Like bowl work, flashing.
No expoy or welding.
Milling OK.
Stock converter in the trans, shift kit OK, and thats it.
You can change;
Air cleaner
carb
intake
cam
rear gears
tires
Moving shifter to floor is OK. Lokar cables are fine, there not a HP adder.
Cage if you think you need it. Subframe connectors are OK as well.
Tire size as you see fit.
