If the rules say you can have it, I bet Keith Kunz would have it though (I know this form of midget racing isn't supposed to be about keith kunz; but there are 100s of those that want to be him of this form of racing; & the rules are quickly allowing those that aspire to be that & have the means, to spend $1000s on their "junkyard" engines; when it woulda been simpler to control things from the start...especially on items that can be teched by looking at a car from 10 ft away - not the connecting rod part...lol - but it happens everywhere all the time; so anyone who has been around forms of racing that were supposed to "stock"; wouldn't be surprised anyway...).
I do think the suppliers mentioned should post the retail cost of all the allowed items - of the parts NEW (Keith Kunz doesn't put used parts on his Tulsa cars I don't think...lol).

I don't know how the rules are allowing that. I read them 3 times to make sure. This is hardly the start of it from what I read in the article on the first page, Seems to be the next chapter. I think the misconception is exactly what you said. This is a production based series not a junk yard series. I believe the scream focus package sold for $8500 when it was around. The simple fact is that everything cost money. Looking at the rules it seems to limit hp and cost in the parts in the long block. This is the money you don't get back when engines go kaboom. Doubt rods or valve springs are doing to gain hp over stock. Ports and cams are going to keep everyone even. No you don't tech those from 10 feet away but keeps the "want to be" Keith Kunzs from out performing the average racer. What D2 engine do you have?
