I understand your logic - you were a bracket racer.
You needed to figure out how to get a leg up in the hopes that you'ld get gas money for next weeks meet.
(Which is all pretty cool in my books!)
BUT!!
This isn't stock eliminator (because that's where this thread started).
PSMCD isn't about making money;
PSMCD isn't about getting a trophy;
PSMCD isn't about getting points;
PSMCD is about replicating a stone stock, or (at best) a super tuned car as it might have left a dealership.
No trick parts;
No trick machining or port work (of any kind);
No trick suspension...
Just as it was built, and/or how it might have left the dealership as a brand new car with it's new car warranty.
It's a real world version of "which car is faster ...if?"
Not to be confused with "I wonder how fast I can make this car go!"
The easing of the camshaft rule, as I see it is like any other rule easement before it;
It is about getting cars out - cars as original as possible, without getting nutty.
Just look up some people trying to find original spec camshafts (Pontiac guys have it good from what I read)...
No need to chase down date coded, or correct code/year blocks - just the correct manufacturers block that is the correct disclpacement for model/year, with the correct for model/year top end;
a top end by the way which hasn't had any contact with a grinding wheel.
That top end also needs a correct for model year/engine type and cfm rating carburetor, with a correct air cleaner;
On the other end of that engine, it needs to have correct exhasut manifolds for model/year with no trickery, all breathing through a stock type exhaust;
Wheel codes don't matter as long as they are the correct size for model/year;
and since any dealer had the ability to instal a myriad of gear sets, you're not limited to the factory installed gearing - as long as it's in a correct for model/year rear end.
All these rules even allow you to build a car unlike it's vin;
So you can run a 1970 Tempest, which left the factory with an inline six and a two speed as a 1970 RAIV GTO - as long as you get all the key stuff on the car right, and it looks the part - After all a 1970 Tempest, and 1970 GTO started exactly the same way before a vin was assigned to it (and quarters were hung)!
