If you break out the scrapper and wait 2 months and spread the word you converted it to stock suddenly they will kill to line up beside you. I live in a town where there are three LS powered rides with a cam. And maybe a few with bolt ons. And there is more in this town per person then the rest of the areas around here. My white truck was decently quick. And yes it hasnt ran in a year. But when it did I would all the time get raced when i was at work... Or when I was home... Or even out of town. When ya ask the same person to line them up suddenly its a new story. No one that isnt INTO racing is into the chance of losing. Its easier to talk about winning against a modded ride then doing it.
