NC: 2.9X posi IRS pumpking donor/halfshaft q?

[Todd....!!]

Hi ya David,

The older dude, taht owned the car said that the engine was stock....
the hood was up and the dudes were playin with the spark plugs and the
nos solenoids n all were all over the place(Port type Fogger setup)

An engine can be BONE stock and still have nitrous on it, just like an
engine can be bone stock and still have a turbo on it, guess it depends
on how you interpret what someone is saying when they say that their
'motor' is 'stock'...

If taken literally, then the motor would be stock if the heads, intake,
crank, n rods haven't been changed from factory specs..., like a blue
printed engine...

since the Fogger WAS installed INTO the intake manifold, the lil holes
they drilled for the nos jets could be considered a MOD to the ENGINE,
but what if only a nos plate was used?  then the engine wouldn't've been
touched, right?  or what if a big ol nos nozzle was stuck in the cold
air intake tract before the engine's intake or anything?

Just wonderin..........

Here's some of the NHRA rules:

Will get back to ya on the paragraph # about runnin an IRS at the
track...
