Ya know, NHRA is notorious for being very vague and sometimes misleading with the wording of some of it's rules. That IS intentional. Many times I have contacted Tech Inspectors for clarifications and TWICE by TWO different Inspectors I've been told "we don't want you to ask for permission, we want you to beg for forgiveness!"
I will hope that the "any valve job" means what it says and I won't be throwing out a very good set of heads.
OBTW, talking about "valve (stem) angles, have you ever checked a set of SB heads after they've been cut .120 or more?
