Re: NHRA 2020 Rule Amendment SS Intakes???
I don't remember anything in the rule book that says you cant run a spacer on the intake between the head and intake in Super stock but I don't see where they allow it either. Kind of a gray area. The new ruling clarifies that.
Sorry to hear that John Gulius has retired. He for sure was an innovator in the evolution of super stock engine building. His stuff was always fast.

Yes, you should be hoping for a gift, an engine-builder who wants to make his customers fast instead of an engine-assembler who would rather lobby to make others slower.

It's not cheating, Joey, if a specific rule has to be written to prevent your "assembler" from being embarrassed by an innovator.

Re: NHRA 2020 Rule Amendment SS Intakes???
Two different points of view and I will agree to disagree. I am just glad it has been brought to light....even though we still don't know if it will be legal in the future, thus still keeping others from moving forward. Thanks NHRA.
Now lets think about policing fluid dumps in the transmissions and lock up converters. And I would disagree.....it is an external modification and thus illegal. I am done talking about it, we will see what happens down the road. Merry Christmas. Last edited by Joey Bohannon; 12-25-2019 at 09:47 AM. |

Glad that NHRA and the expense has left some of us behind so that we can watch at the events and the internet without the effect on our pocket books. Merry Christmas |

Re: NHRA 2020 Rule Amendment SS Intakes???
Why do we need to wait another year to have a decision on this issue?? The rule book states that you can cut the intake face of the head up to the valve cover bolt holes but does not state any limit to the angle of that cut. Now we have a problem. Although it does not say you can't do it, long standing Nhra policy is you have to get permission to do it first!!! So at some point did someone get permission to do it??? If so, there shouldn't be problem. If not ???
