I found a Stock Eliminator car in the Blueprint/Car Classifications but..

The car in question is the 2003 Pontiac Boneville SSEi.

There is no runner volumes on the head numbers,no replacement pistons and or weights, and the difference in rod length from 2002-2003 is an astounding .300"....Well just under....

After the frustration of this I came here and wanted to ask you if your combo that you run, or any other running combo does not have a documented runner volume listed and or bob weight unlisted.

This should be interesting...Thank
you in advance.

Are the newer rods longer???

No...the years of 2000-2002 are longer..the 2003 are almost .300" shorter..I've yet to see what this does on my engine analysis software...thay maybe a *** load lighter...but no info is given....thats why I'm frustrated...I go through a lot of combos to see whats happening....this one was the most frustrating....

Some times there are typos in NHRA's book. Check the real stock parts and see if it is.
If no piston manufacturer has submitted a piston, there will be no replacement pistons. You have to use the ones that are made by the manufacturer. As far a runner volumes goes they have never poured that particular combo so there aren't any numbers yet.

So, if your heads are the first to get poured then that number goes into the classification guide?
