Yes Adger, that valve diameter rule would be a lot more equal for everyone; presently, it is not.
how would that valve rule benefit everyone? its only a benefit to those heads for engines that came with quite bit bigger valve...those that didnt, its not. if thats a new rule, builders would just look through the catalogue and pick the head with biggest valve...no matter what engine its on...
I think you need to read the words that are actually printed here and not creatively interject what you mistakenly comprehend.
NOWHERE does it say anything that the valve rule in question will "BENEFIT" everyone ... it was said that a spec class rule like that proposal will "make things MORE EQUAL for everyone".
I will say that I misinterpreted the cylinder head rule for that "Small Block Shootout" class.
I took that written rule, "O.E.M. cylinder head or aftermarket replacement O.E.M. cylinder head with stock port orientation" to mean the ports had to remain in the O.E.M. locations but, everyone else in the class had a "raised runner" cylinder head of some sort so, that thinking was certainly wrong.
i didnt quote him in my question..i just asked a simple question...how would it benefit everyone?
ill ask you since your so smart...how would it benefit the BB chev? and how would it be more equal for everyone,,everyone includes the BB chev. well it wont, it will only make the valve size more equal for those that dont have a 2.19" that certainly isnt everyone.
what would make it more equal for everyone, and benefit no one. is to get rid of the no factoring rule. that way those spec heads can be suited to a cubic inch thats realistic for that RPM range. for gods sakes,,,a lot of those heads have a hard time feeding 400" fully ported,,, even if a 2.19" valve was allowed.
factoring is the great equalizer
oh, and you should get your quotes correct...you quote the small block head rule totally out of context and used the words that were not even in there...no where does it say "orientation" it says "configuration" i guess thats why you misinterpreted it.
