Super Stock - Requirements and specifications for all Super Stock categories are the same for those as Stock with the following exceptions.

With no mention in the Super Stock section allowing cutting into the Valve cover bolt holes.

If there is a section listed in Super Stock, it replaces whatever was said in the Stock rules. Anything that is a repeat rule is rewritten in the Super Stock section. And they left out the part about the valve cover bolt holes, end of story. Why would they write all that stuff about cylinder heads and leave out such an important rule, unless it was meant to be left out?

I'm sure if you asked every Hemi Super Stock guy out there whether or not their bolt holes were broken into, 95% of them would tell you yes. It's nothing new.
