[QUOTE=cbohannon;603992]This, in my opinion, is just another "stretch" of a rule. The question of right or wrong and our opinions of it probably matter very little at this point. The problem here is somewhat the same as it has always been...NHRA. If these heads went through tech and were approved 2 years ago then they are problably always going to be legal from here on out, just like pretty much every other rule that has been "stretched" over the years. Honda rod journals, modified combustion chambers, aftermarket cranks, gas ported pistons, blah, blah, blah...[QUOTE]

Does anyone really think that the tech department just lets stuff slide right thru teardown or approves modifications that are clearly against what Stock and S/S stands for?

Like all businesses the tech department is probably governed by powers higher than themselves. Those higher powers more than likely have the final say on rule changes and what is deemed illegal or legal, even though the higher powers may know very little about the mechanical workings of racing engines, especially Stock and S/S.
