Wow! There are a lot more important things going on it stock & super stock than a intake that is cast with the same dimensions as the cast iron one. What class do you run in Bill?

Billy has been a racer for years and a traditionalist when it comes to the rules. There are quite a few of us out there. BTW he has been a Division champ in 2 classes and All Stars rep multi times as well. His credentials are valid.

Why is it that some people can get aftermarket parts approved and others cant? Every time I asked for a replacement part for my combo, All I ever heard was "its not in the spirit of stock eliminator" .So I bring up other combo's, then was told "one mistake doesn't justify another".

I guess the Pontiac racers were able to hold the morality line in stock eliminator for everyone.

If there is no advantage to it other than weight then why do the 340's need this? If its not a big deal then just allow everyone to run an Edlebrock Performer then? There is a reason someone is pushing for this and the only reason isn't weight on the nose

You must be new at this, if you don't realize what happens if you take 50-60 lbs off the nose of a Stocker ,and put that amount in the weight box.
Pretty soon , we'll need wheelie bars.
Oh ,wait ..I forgot. We already have them...for safety!

It NEVER ceases to amaze me the amount of WELFARE that certain racers ask for......

Folks, just because something was in the parts books back in the day doesn't mean it should be legal for stock eliminator. Chevy had lots of high performance parts in the books back then. Doesn't mean that they are or should be legal for stock eliminator. And Todd if memory serves me well Pontiac had ram air 5 tunnel port heads that could be purchased if you knew the right people.

James you remember "we" bailed out on the 350 glide combo after the index wack and got the 396/325 for the legal 3spd just to keep up . Only to see the 3spd approval 1 year later , thats alot of parts on a shelf over an index ruling , Talk about nose weight .

If guys like Billy weren't around questioning questionable parts S/SS would be a real flustercluck.

My combos don't need the intake changed, there just fine in there current state. As for Billy's efforts, good for him, as I stated before!!! The class will always revolve in certain ways, sometimes you got to go with the flow and let things fall where they fall. Definitely not here to put Mr. Nees down for his efforts, The powers to be im sure will manage it all in some form or another eventually.
