iv'e run into this 100 times, when i had my 69 grande it was basically stock 302 foged piston's header's flows and- 2v carb , with 4-speed it was fast because they guy who built it is a boss 302 whiz, well a guy at work had a 72 nova 350 , auto ,low gear's he woulndn't race me. until he put in a hot cam, 4v high rise headers etc then he wanted to race. so it's the same old story that brand x guy's have to buid up their car's so they have an advatage,but whatwas funny he changed to a 3-speed , & 300 rear gears i offered to run him , in my stock oogt , oh no can't do it , isaid but gee it's stock, ha he has shut up , but i still ask him everyday , i guess his feather's are showing .the only offer i have had was a tubbed out 67 nova with a monster built 454 4-speed i asked how much of a spot he was giving, none how fair is that !they alway's do this it's the x way of life and all fair to them. good luck smoke his a$$
