I'm responding here since I'm not an active driver (yet).....I've got an idea that maybe nobody will like...Steve, I do agree that you need the roller rocker for your car and with all the stuff permitted now in Stock, it only makes sense....However I do agree with the Captain and Bob M. about where the Stock Elim. rules changes are taking the class....I believe that a Stock Elim. engine should have the same type or design rocker arm that came on from the factory....doesn't have to be a O.E.M. part number, just the same type, etc.....So what I'm proposing is how about a SPRING PRESSURE RULE??? ALLOW let's say an open pressure of maybe 100 lbs. or so over Stock O.E.M. specs. so that maybe we don't need to fork over the $$$$ for bigger this and high-tech that, etc. THE PROBLEM is mainly could it be POLICED properly? The number doesn't have to be 100......I chose it out of the blue...but should be a number that would give additional performance and somewhat reliability without having to go to mega-dollar engine parts....UNLESS you want to! So how about it guys! Of course some engines may respond to tons of extra spring pressure and some don't....and most Stock engine programs may have to go BACKWARDS a bit....but at least it would be a RULES CHANGE leading back to what STOCK should be!
