So they no longer have "full stock dashboard including instruments, fresh air ducts and controls must be retained" in the NHRA rulebook?
See Stock / Electrical / Instruments.

Yep, I had to put the AC/Heater controls back in my dash for SS. Guys with the Firebirds do put gauges in their AC vents. I'm probably the only one not to. I see cars with the Racepack dash on the collumn in front of the factory cluster, don't think you can pull the cluster.

I am retianing my factory cluster. It is a lot more difficult to put the race pak in front of the stock cluster than in front of the heater register. Also I have been told (not from NHRA) that I could remove the heater controls because the car is a heater delete from the "factory". Maybe I should call NHRA tech for clarification?
Thanks,
Larry

If a car is indeed a factory "heater delete" car, then why does it have any heater controls in it?

Your guess is as good as mine.
