Jack their are people out their running "BAD" combos.....as hard as it is for you to belive most people pick a car that they like,luv,or just already have instead of going out look for a "combo " car. (not I but) so their you have people with "combos" that have been beaten to death for years (example 67,68 camaro with 327/275) (just an example not picking on anyone) & now don't stand a chance running for class against these "combo" cars. Thing is even with valve job & 3 speed I don't think they can run with the FI cars or the mopars! (just a fact) Then again You were @ INDY /U.S. nationals so I think this might be a way to help make tec easier........?

Whats next - And for 2009 , they'll allow port matching.

Billy Nees · 12-20-2007, 09:02 AM

Wow, throw in the much overlooked sentence out of the rulebook"Runners and combustion chamber must retain OEM appearance" and it looks to me like I'm allowed a set of any steel valve with any angle, any custom made seat at any angle (taper?), any bowl job that I can fit under the seat and any port work that I want as long as it appears to be stock. Why don't they just start pouring heads and be done with all of this crap!

Amen, Mr. Bill.

S/SS Combo, anyone?

Maybe they'll have the rules finagled out before I get my butt up to PA and get the head off the Turismo. Sorry, got caught up with doing some post-PRI 'emergency' stuff for some folks... how about just before or just after New Year's?

The way I read it, one of the stock valve seat angles must be retained, somewhere amongst the other angles.....

greg fulk · 12-20-2007, 02:48 PM

Billy I agree! Just wonder how many "stock " heads out their wouldn't pour?

Upon further review from the replay booth,I'm not so sure that this means you can do anything you want.
