The second they give us roller rockers we will start seeing 9000 RPM bigblocks, with 350 PSI on the seat if guys arent doing that allready. What happens then? When the engines start coming apart, are these guys going to start pushing for a light bottom end so they can turn the RPM with out having to risk running over the crankshaft about the 1000 ft mark. How fast will cars go then AA car will run the low nines and then we will need rules for people to feel safe, and all that nonsense can start up again. This is a bad idea and will add up to another nail in the coffin for stock. Lets just leave things alone and race for a few years.

Todd, many of the stockers are running high pressures with Schubecks and many engines are already turning high RPM's. How are you going to check for springs pressures on every car at every race? Don't you realize that what you are proposing would create more engine failures? Do you know the definition of "valve float" and its consequences?
