Roller Cams in Stock Eliminator?

Barry, I'm not saying you can't do it with the good lifters. And I agree I don't see it getting changed. Not enough racers have blown their stuff up yet. I wonder what that number will have to be before they change a rule. To set something straight there are a heck of a lot more flat tappet lifters in motors than just the high HP Big Block Chevy's. MY brother blew his small block Chevy up with Schubeck lifters. Took him over a year to get a good set of lifters. Todd says we can all do it with soft cams and lifters. You know like we did 25 years ago. He's right but we all know your going to slow down a bunch. If you're running a competitive class good luck in heads up runs. I'm not good with the Dodge/ Chrysler stuff. Maybe someone can help me out here. Back 15 plus years ago I ran a 69 Camaro. It ran ok (B/SA). But from one year to the next a Chrysler car went from just running ok in B/SA to flying the next year. I was told by a fellow racer that NHRA approved the NASCAR motor for the combo that it never came with. Anybody remember what year that was? BP
