Turbocharger in Super Street???

[QUOTE=bill dedman;297251]I want to run my turbocharged slant-six Valiant in Super Street, but according to this, from the NHRA 2012 rulebook:

SUPERCHARGER, TURBOCHARGER
Permitted only when racing gasoline, gasoline, diesel, or alcohol is
used as fuel. Restricted to standard Roots-type, centrifugal, or
OEM-type screw supercharger.

You know they always say, "If we don't say you can do it, you can't."

I always thought it was "If they don't say you can't then you can" until the next rule revision.

I believe the Honda in super street has a roots type blower, and the Honda that team runs in comp, has dual turbo"s.
