But we knew what the specs read.
And where necessary, we got parts like the piston, that matched the specs. And since in the case of rocker arms, there weren't even any after market parts even being made. So stock factory rockers were all that we could run. And we just ran them and hoped.
Finally all of the spec wrinkles on the 2009 were ironed out.
But, as hard as the guys at the Drag Pak project at Mopar worked, there aren't enough of them, nor is this their only project.
I am not offering any kind of excuse for their oversight on the spec. It shouldn't have happened, but I can see how it did.

Hey all those things are understandable but the bottom line is that this is NHRA drag racing, not Mopar factory racing and if the parts don't meet the NHRA specs, they are not legal.
