Probably, the same way they limit boost, now... they won't.

Check out the disproportionate number of #1 qualifiers in Stock at national events that run forced induction.

I don't think it can all be chalked up to soft indexes or unrealistic horsepower factors.

Certain racing associations attach telltale boost gauges to the engines in competing cars, with specific limits set. When they come in for a weight/fuel check, the telltale boost gauge had better not read over the prescribed limit.

Doesn't take a rocket surgeon to figure that one out...

Stock Eliminator is NOT a class for everyone, and not everyone will be successful.

Thats kinda getting away from what the grass roots of stock and super stock are all about. YES its a production vehicle but opening up this door is going to split the flood gate. If they had any brains they would think of a new class and invite the big three (GM/Ford/Mopar) and have match races. Kinda like how ihra had Top Stock but call it something else like Factory Supercar Showdown. It will draw a crowd and we all know there will be mid to high 8 second potential. Just dont mix it into stock and superstock and poison the prestege that the hero's of yesteryear have made. Dick Landy will turn in his grave if he knew there was going to be a power adder allowed in super stock. Haha...they probably still wont run with a SS/AH car.
