Jack, the "Regulations are there and you're seeing them. You're just not understanding the repercussions of them (just like the tech dept.) on the "non hi performance" based combos.
Just some easy to explain new regs., replacement heads, carbs, transmissions, ceramic lifters, non stock valvesprings and valve train. All of these things don't help a "restricted" engine combo one bit. My Pontiac came with a metric trans in it to my advantage, now any GM gains my advantage with no benefit to me. I don't get a replacement aluminium head or aftermarket carb, no benefit. Exotic aftermarket valvetrain parts don't help me either as my engines don't want to RPM any more than they do now.
Now before you go getting all defensive please understand, I know that there are benefits to the combos that I run and I'm not complaining about the new regs.(rules) I'm just stating in fact that they are (intentionally or not) increasing the performance gap between the upper and lower class combos. (lower class being a relative term)
