But you have to be honest, the Mopar folks have the least amount of parts to choose from. When you go faster than 75 mph, it takes some good parts and pieces.

Have fun and may the force be with you.
I would say Pontiac folks have the least amount of approved aftermarket parts.

Ya can put any of the B-O-P Racers on that list.
When is the last time a B-O-P Racer got a bigger cam or a change in the weight of the rotating assy.?

Let's go with M-B-O-P as the leaders of Stock oppression. Common issues for all four. :D:(

Regardless, we all try our best with the rules & parts we have. All of us have to be a little crazy for doing this.

Unless it's a misprint,the B of the B-O-P racers have 10.5 compression pistons in 1971,1972,1973 on the engine blueprint specs.

I always thought the 1971 engines started the era of low compression pistons and unleaded fuel.But I might be wrong,as I was only 5 or 6 years old at the time.I know the O got low compression pistons.

Wellllllllllllllllll, the B Racers DO have some friends in high places! AND some (most) of the "legal replacement" pistons DO have very advantageous piston dish volumes.

No,no M! They've gotten more than their share of "handouts" over the years!

Does the M stand for Mercury. I can’t believe how much cam and Dove heads they received. Oh fudge I forgot about the 735 cfm carb. I know what CFM stands for us Mo Par’s

You can build a 1969 Camaro 396/375 without using an original OEM part?

The Rule Book "enhancements" have enabled this crap. The old guard of the NHRA Rule Book (i.e; Farmer, Greg X and the like) paved a better way of enforcing the rules by employing good qualified people with the dedication to the book.

A great Division Director, as a leader must see rules integrity as the cornerstone, not as an Event Marketing Manager.

Especially D1. Of all places.
