Also: I cleaned the combustion chamber I was told to and they checked the dirty one next to it. Found out they use the common rounded off stroke number instead of the one that's carried out to the thousands, luckly I had pleanty of safety on both.

So, Jerry, are you going to appeal this on the basis of 1. the wrong lifter being used to check valve lift, and 2. no Stock runner cc's (port volume numbers) to adhere to?
Sounds like you'd have a pretty good case to me. But, what do I know?????????????

Jerry, I got picked for tear down at topeka national, They had a fixture to put my lifter and pushrod in for actual length, then they put in there checking lifter and adjustable pushrod in the fixture and make it actual same length, then they check lift on the cam. Alan Roehrich I was told for 2009 on my motor 305 [416] same spec, as super stock [ no welding or grinding ] 165 intake, 59 exhaust as these are the old stocker spec, Tom

I would agree on the cam issue. However, I think if you've got 12 cc more runner volume than is called out for SS, nail-head valves and "new" valve job rules considered, there's more to the story. From what I'm reading, NHRA did right. But that's just my opinion...
