lol. Much like mud racing in the NMRO. Class 3 started out with similar engine rules. I think they were trying to control the cost of racing in that particular class. We first raced in 2001 with the NMRO. Five hundred cubes was the norm then and now some fellas are running 900-1000 cubes.
IMO I think the Hamilton Block should be legal from a safety standpoint and cost. By the time you pay for a deck plate 6.7, you may as well get the Hamilton piece. Just so the engines are pumped for cubes.
Does this give cummins an unfair advantage over GM or Ford?

The pics that tater6bt posted look to be the 2016 rules that are currently posted on the PPL website, with the changes made in 2017. Which are also currently available on propulling.com . One would think that they should be accurate. That is where I would go if I wanted ppl rules.

I am not saying that yours are wrong. I am saying that any random person, who doesn't care to be on here to see your rules that were procured directly from a PPL official, is going to go to the ppl website and find the most up to date information available. The most up to date info directly from ppl and available to the general public are the links I posted.
How can you assume that by getting the rules in that way, they are any less to spec? We start pulling a month from yesterday. Our group can't wait until they get around to actually posting the newest revision. Shouldn't the newest rules be the 2016 rules plus the voted changes anyway?
The ones you posted are a more complete version of the others. I am glad they actually cleaned them up a little.

You can do as you please. I know the new 3.0 truck we are helping put together is being built to the rules I listed. You are welcome to build to 2013 rules if you want. I don't care, but it may be too long and the turbo may not meet spec. If you are in doubt, contact Johnathan yourself.

Never altered the head just the intake. I mean come on when you remove your heads weather the intake is bolts welded or glued it's still a intake not a head. We cummins guys just need those hint BOLT ON intakes like you guys. So really it's all the same thing just depends how you look at it. So we mill the stock intake off and we replace it will a nice big fat one, that is exactly the same width since the length is never touched. So again it's legal.
Lmao no one shot you for saying it so I had too. I was DQEd, poor guy gave me a rental pair, they were to small, no wait i was to big. So if that counts I had a pair, Then the poor guy wanted them back, to pick up Amish Chics in the fair. Some*****!
P.s. Only humpe and the trouble maker have illegal heads!!!

If you read the fine print. The color swap is tied in with the engine swap between manufacturers. But since you can't understand rules, I see how you missed that!
If you come run with use this year, let me know. I'll make a check list of things you to bring with you.

FYI, PPL made me take off 2 turnbuckles last year that were connected to 2 bars that went forward of the rear axle centreline, they said it was a brace forward of the axle to the hitch , so I would say any part of the hitch that is forward of the axle is illegal
