I think you'll find a lot of approved parts for more than just Big Block's. You seem to have a problem with me. If you think I'm cheating bring your money to a track. I don't get out much but I try to make Indy. I've been to the barn several times with multiple cars and have yet not made it threw. Barry
Billy what if it's the mid pack car stuff that is wrong. I seen several slower cars not get by tec.

Barry, first of all I don't "have a problem" with you. Paranoid? I do however "have a problem" with the 21ST century mindset that everyone's cheating so it's got to be legal right?
Secondly, "unless you race a Big Block combo" or certain "good" Small Block combos (340,360,350,some 327s) your roller rockers and solid lifters were given out by NHRA to help keep Big Blocks from breaking stuff. They're worth nothing (or next to nothing) in a non-HP combo.
Your 1K ring packages are a joke.
The only thing that better shocks do in a not-so-fast combo is improve the Driver, nothing there.
Aftermarket carbs? Really? Not here.
3 speeds for 2 speeds? Do you even know why that was done? It was done so that the early Drag Packs and Cobra Jets (that came with Powerglides) could run 3 speeds. It had NOTHING to do with the non-HP Chevys.
And you jump to making it about money again. "Bring my money to the track"? Why? If everyone's cheating it's legal right?
Do you even know where your burger money comes from? You should pay me a visit some time. I'm looking at it on-the hoof out my window. (that last one is just a little friendly Ba**Busting)
Now, do you want to make a SERIOUS wager? Why don't we meet each other at a neutral track and bring some tools and friends. You go to the local junkyard (in case you don't know what that is, it's where poor folks shop for Racecar parts) and get some heads, a carb and an intake for MY combo and I'll go to my buddies Corvette shop and get a set of restoration quality heads, an intake and carb for YOUR combo and we'll change some parts and see who can go faster. I would be willing to wager some of that hamburger-in-the-rough that I will.
Bring your money!
