Good luck finding that builder and the hopeful passing of future measurements, etc.

Gary, I know in dirt racing they have a go or no go gauge that they use on the base, not sure if other organizations have that. We ran a Holley 500 2 bbl that was flowing 800 cfm tremendous amount of work done, was I cheating yes but never got caught. AJ Foyt once said you aint cheating until you get caught LOL

It's tech's job to determine legality, why I lost interest in "Stock" Eliminator long ago, it's more about what you can away with, rather than good engine building.

Let's see non-approved billet crankshafts in SS/GT winning class at INDY, non approved aftermarket aluminum heads on a combo that only allows the OE head winning class at INDY.

No thanks! I can think of plenty of other thankless jobs that I'd rather have before that one.

It apparently may be a surprise to you, but some of the members of the Tech Dept. also read this stuff.

I don't see why you couldn't use Holley jets. Fuel metering modifications have always been legal...But why ? Rochester jets are available online, several places.
You know, the ones that have the actual orifice size on the sides :-)

Of course they do, I provided no detail at all.
What I'd do they'd never catch, because they don't look, and again I care nothing about Stock.
