I think I know the answer, but Im not sure, so I wanted to see.

Ok what about running a car in stock, without the manufactuer supplying info on the combo ?

What can be done, the car in Question is a 2008 and they have not supplied specs to the NHRA on these models.

From the NHRA "If you do not find a particular vehicle/engine combination listed in the Guide, it means specifications for that combination were never received from the manufacturer, and the vehicle is not eligible for competition in Stock or Super Stock."

What can be done to get around this ?

You would have to get someone to submit the specs to NHRA. In 2001, I was considering building my street car (1995 LT-1 Camaro) for IHRA Pure Stock. I had to e-mail Gary Penn at GM to get the camshaft specs sent in to be legal for Pure Stock (P/Stk checks for overlap, duration, left, etc whereas regular Stock can run any duration as long as stock Lift is retained. They had the specs for a E/SA '95 Camaro but not a C/PS Camaro).

You may want to put a call out to the NJ. Cadillac Man- Ray Golonka- he had to get the Disco Caddys entered in the guide.
