Just no one cared enough to build one using today's rules. BP

While I'm on a roll Barry, would you build your combo using ALL of the Original "Stock" parts today? And just what rules have changed? What has changed is the NHRA's acceptance of "aftermarket and replacement" parts for certain combos. Combos like yours BUT not ALL combos. I've got 4 combos in my garage at this time and there isn't a single "aftermarket and replacement" part approved for ANY of them. The rules have changed allowing nothing other than simple pieces that aren't worth a thing, not like heads, intakes and carbs. I'm basically working with what was available when A cars were running mid elevens. We're all "playing a game" but the rules change for some and not for others. Right now, the rules have changed (AHFS) and you don't like the changes so you want to lower the indexes. I don't like all of the "aftermarket and replacement" parts that you and others have gotten.
