If you are over what the SS list has you will be disqualified. In 2010 after all data is compiled there will be separate lists for stock and super stock. Hope this helps and adds some clarity to this topic. Thank you all for your comments!

Well this is a hoot...They have been pouring runners on stockers starting 2002?or longer. When I asked why, they told me they were just gathering data. So I don't have a problem with this but as Rod Green post #47 and RJ post #49 said, there is a problem with some of the SS Specs especially the 340 mopars. I think way back when they were gathering data for the cc list, some of the ones they checked had been acid ported and some were bone stock withh the tulip valves and all. Most of the virgin castings I've checked are 3 to 8cc small for the SS specs. Seems to me they have enough data, two more years of gathering isn't gonna give them anymore insite. I think they are just telling you what you want to hear just to get you off their backs or they just don't know what to do with out hearing a lot of greif...
