OK.. emailed Mike Baker ..and it is true.
Can use any OEM Spring.

This is Mike's response to my email..
"If it is oem design and size it is ok"

You better get clarification on what Mike says. "If it is oem design and size it is ok" says nothing definitive about pressure.

My Car runs G/Pure Stock. 1995 Impala SS.

Looking at a replacement spring from Associated Spring VS574..
Lists as a LT-1 replacement spring.
Need to know if it qualifies as a Pure Stock Legal Spring for my car.

Keep in mind a email assurance does not hold the sway of a rulebook. Tech inspectors do not carry copies of emails.

"Stock replacement per OEM spec. and must check on factory spec. open and closed pressure."

YES..just sent him another email asking that question.

As for 10 Second Pure Stockers.

Here is a link of the first 9 Second ET in Stock history.

Do I have to e-mail Mike Baker to get the spring pressure numbers for my car ?

I sure hope IHRA leaves the indexes alone and just adjust the super fast PS combos with h.p.

If IHRA changes the indexes, I will probably just upgrade my Mustang to NHRA Stocker specs.

[Dan Fahey]

OK..Mike just emailed me again.

So long as the Spring fits in the Original Stock Pad.
The Spring is legal.

More cam and spring would eventually necessitate resetting the Pure Stock Indexes.
Kind of wished they did not do that. We are in Junior Stock Range.
Keeping the Stock Spring pressure would add only a little HP.
This change Pure Stock should be renamed Jr Stock again!

err

Interesting.
Then there should be an amendment to the specs book stating:

"So long as the Spring fits in the Original Stock Pad.
The Spring is legal."

As posted before in this thread, I would think the rulebook trumps any e-mail on raceday in the teardown area.

Just how are you the only one that gets a response from Mike Baker. Maybe in his pocket somehow ?
