I'm with supermpuller4..."stock" never WAS stock; if you replaced the factory flat-top pistons with hi-altitude or fire-crater pistons, was it still stock? It depended on who you asked. If you ran a set of M & W pistons, was it still stock? Maybe...if you couldn't see any external evidence of modification. All along, the deifnition of "stock" has been subject to interpretation; what some would call stock, others would call "cheatin'"...especially if they didn't think of it first! So, unless you want to tear down every engine to inspect for non-original parts, you have to accept some "cheatin'" is gonna happen, and just set up some rules to deal with it. That is why they have different classes and divisions, in pulling as well as in auto racing. If "stock" was the same as "farm stock," why would they need to be separate classes, as they are at some pulls? That horse has been out of the barn a long time, buckaroo; I don't think you're gonna round him up here and now. But that's just MY opinion.
