Bryan, I think Eric's point is that if the intake he has shown the picture of is legal then why does it matter if I go buy a Edelbrock big block chevy head to install on my small block Ford engine. All it would take is some sort of adapter plates and boom I have my intake.. thats the sprit of the word "ANY"... If the want to write a rule that stops the heads from being modified to "cheat" the runner volume than go ahead.. but leave the intake out of the rule..

I don't know either of you or really have a dog in this discussion as I only run stock.. BUT this rule does seem a bit stupid if it in fact does mean you can only buy an out of the box aftermarket intake and port it or spend $$$ and go sheetmetal but anything in between is now deemed illegal..

To answer you question though.. just as Erik said.. no running incorrect intakes shouldn't carry over to stock. they SHOULD be factory no matter what and have the correct casting# just as the rule book states.. SS is a different animal.
