Remember when Bowtie blocks with siamesed Cylinders were legal before anyone else could use a siamesed block? How about 327 intakes on 283's or how the small block Chevys were mysteriously allowed 550 gram connecting rods when the old spec was 570 grams? I am not an AMC racer but I think it is about time that they were allowed some enhancements that some of the other brands have been allowed. After all, isn't the AHFS supposed to take care of any runaway combinations? This is pure speculation on my part, but just maybe the NHRA tech department has gotten tired of all the GM guys complaining about every little thing and decided to really give you guys something to complain about. Or maybe the tech guys thought it would be nice to see something other than Camaros in Stock and Super Stock. Hey GM guys, keep complaining because it is helping the AMC's,Mopars and Fords and we need more of those brands in Stock and Super Stock.

That is just the tip of the iceberg...
Let's add the enhancements on cylinder heads, pistons and cams that have taken place; they all mostly started with GM cars.
I believe if the rules allows enhancements for one make, they should be the same for other makes.
So to Billy and Paul...
Do you believe it is okay to allow the 1962 Plymouth 383/343 HP with over the counter parts that adds two 4;BBL's, cylinder heads with bigger valves a a different cam compete and not do so with the AMC's with the same approach minus the cylinder heads???
