Plus the manufacturing process, technology and tolerance of the new engines make them extremely efficient as produced and don't benefit as much it once did from simply blueprinting and building each peice to nominal tolerances.

That being said people with the new cars can also build clones. Some simple items and boom you now can compete as a CJ as they use a lot of part that come straight from the road going modular engine rides. Heads, block, crank, lifters, roller finger followers, intakes, Superchargers, ECM etc.

There is nothing stock about different forms of "stock" racing anymore and haven't been for a long time. How many cars out racing are exactly how the rolled off the factory assembly line? Some of the new cars are but even they don't remain that way for long either.

Nice line of BS you just printed there. What if somebody does not want to race a Supercharged car? Maybe they would want to take their existing street car (of which there are tens of thousands made) and set it up for Stock class.

Sorry, you only get to run one of the purpose built racecars or you can build a clone of a purpose built racecar. Take your perfectly good original engine and drivetrain out, then purchase one of the race engines just so you can race Stock.

Someday in the future this not allowing regular production newer street cars in Stock is going to bite the sanctioning body big time.
