It was also painfully obvious that my question concerning the legality of modified cylinder heads and manifolds was not addressed. Must also be some of the "insider" info that is withheld from those of us neophytes.

Thanks.

Dear Dissident;
I must agree with the previous responders and say: GOT A BOOK? READ IT! That being said, do not expect NHRA to assist you in massaging that book to fit your needs....they will not, but they will provide the fruit of any meaningful conversation in writing; a great idea if you are planning to run this category (stk).

In the matter of "insider" info that is withheld from folks of your ilk.... that is not the problem. The info you seek is more "tribal knowledge" than than something that is chiseled on stone tablets and carefully guarded by the "stocker monks". The people that responded to your thread represent many years of experience in this class and have paid many dues along the way. Add a little respect to the "tone" of your requests and you will be shocked at the results. BTW, Mike is dead on about going with a respected pro for heads and intakes.
