I'm pretty sure the LS is allowed an Edelbrock throttle body.

Mr hill the reason I was kicked out was the idiots said my boosters where too shiny. That’s a new one on me

Good luck today in Gainesville
Also good luck to the racer in the left lane
That sun glare makes my glass eye water with that Gainesville Glare in the left lane
Just saying 😂

What is the definition and criteria for a "shinny" carburetor?
In the past I have purchased and installed for friends rebuilt carburetors that look better than new.

When I had a Stocker in the past I had a Q-Jet spot checked and was told it was to shiny at the base......measured fine but was to shiny...

Was not DQ'ed but told don't bring it back at the next race...

It was an arbitrary call.....and I did not argue it....did what was asked...

20+ years ago....

Question here. Can a carbs venturi be cleaned up with jewelers rouge. I've read the rules and thus the question.

Good luck today all you stocker people, you're lucky, no morning glare, juniors took the light for you.

Did Chuck Beach sell the Barracuda

Apparently you can't shine up a throttle body either......
