Just for the Record,I think pure Stock sucks!
But I wouldn't mind the rules to stay put from lets say 10-15 years ago just to keep us separated from SS.

Stupid, learn how to pick valvetrain components and this doesn’t happen

Pontiac had dual valve springs from the factory in some combos that had more open pressure then that. Just saying

The 300 lbs. @ .500" was a maybe. Some BBC had dual valve springs too. They also had valve springs with 327 lbs @ .500" lift, though the seat pressure was only 106 lbs.

What rule should be changed for Stock and SS? How about an AHFS system that actually works? Can't believe no one has suggested this yet? I could write a book about how ineffective this system is. If you got some parity in how cars are factored, all of these other suggestions would not be as much of an issue. And yes, my car is as much of an offender as a lot of others.

AHFS to work properly, what a concept. Sure got quiet on this thread after that post.

How can the system work when the racers are the ones making sure it doesn't. If everyone ran their car all out every pass it would work. They forgot to account for the fact that you would have all the racers trying to protect there combo at almost any cost. How many have been on hear pissed off because some one with their combo made a pass that got them hit. Used to be that drag racing was to see who could go the quickest in a quarter mile. It doesn't help that the NHRA let the new should be in comp cars race in stock with very generous HP factors.

Hmmm where have I heard that before ?? 🤔 the Automatic Help For Slugs cannot and will not ever work. Just because we control the data that was easy. That was day one before 1. National Opens don’t count 2. Oh crap 50% of the field is fast we won’t count them 3. Indy well it’s special we can’t count that ... and then >> well GM said they made it so let’s put it in the book at its ORIGINAL HP not gross and oh one more ... if you read the rules and properly sandbag SHAZAAM the HP fairy will reduce your combo (fffords just get the 300 combos at a time) 😡😡😡

Anyway no one listens to me 😢
