What air cleaner base is NHRA Legal?

[STOCK1278]

I had bought one from gm performance parts for my street car. Later gave it to Dad, NHRA made him remove it because it looked to swoopy!!!!!

I think what NHRA is looking for are the aluminum circle track air cleaner bottoms that a lot of racers are running. These are not close to oem but racers have been running them for years.

I spoke to a super stock buddy Monday and his SS had one of these roundy-round bases. He was told to loose it. He doesn't know why, but it picked up .08 the next round! He lost on an explainable breakout. Guess he owes NHRA a big thank you!

I was asked to remove my air base at the SuperNationals/E-Town and replace it with a stock type air cleaner base. The one I had did look like the one in the pictures at the SuperNationals. Selective enforcement or just that it was raining during tech? What will NHRA do if someone wins with one on? By the way thank you NHRA because my car picked up when I removed the roundy round air base, go figure.

No he had his own..
I really dont think the air cleaner base helped him.He was way faster than Tex.
By the way Larry I have seen alot or Chryslers with this huge plastic air cleaner base size of a stealth bomber.Can I use a 69 z28 fresh air cleaner assembly?
