The other was for pistons that didn't have all or the correct number stamping/etching.. I think you have to have the correct/approved aftermarket rod if you are not running a stock rod, even if the weight is correct. I'm real sure in a stocker the pistons have to be the original stock pistons or the correct part number from the approved list for the engine claimed.
These are just my thoughts on the subject and the way I read the rules. You might want to call or get in touch with your NHRA Division Tech and have a discussion.
Adger is correct. I was going off the original post which asked about "and noticed the accepted list" and I went from there. These details can get lost on long threads and need to be brought back to the front on occasion.
