The non OEM lifters cost a bunch to survive the out of this world spring pressures !

The cost alone would be tolerable, it's the damage they do when hard or hardened parts break.

Get rid of all the blinders...separate the men and women from the boys and the girls.

And get rid of the reaction times.

How about going to "standard" ignition boxes. And with that, make part of Tech Inspection spot checking boxes for any extra functions. NHRA Tech "swaps" your box for an NHRA box for the race.

No real way to police that. I blind but don't have any type of blinder in the car. Its just my preference to race that way.

Another nice change would be to allow a front battery to be moved to the trunk. -Al

What’s the big deal about blinders?

Pontiac had dual valve springs from the factory in some combos that had more open pressure then that. Just saying

The 300 lbs. @ .500" was a maybe. Some BBC had dual valve springs too. They also had valve springs with 327 lbs @ .500" lift, though the seat pressure was only 106 lbs.
