It's sort of like the speed limit. While those going 85mph in a 65 are breaking the law, you don't get a reward for doing 65. There's an interesting story I've heard of someone getting thrown out at Indy when 3 cylinder heads from 3 different cars with supposedly identical castings were inspected at the same time. 2 out of the 3 had ported heads, the other one didn't. Guess who was thrown out....

Remember what happened a couple of years back, when NHRA set Wesley Roberson loose to police cylinder heads?




They should turn Wesley Roberson, Travis Miller, and Dave Ley loose, and give them a free hand to fully police Stock and Super Stock, with the necessary staff.
