>> Engines may be bored to a maximum of .040 inch over
Or do you mean to say: Engines may use .040" oversized pistons?
See my Forged comment above.
>> If a .040 factory replacement piston is not offered for your car (like mine), it is not legal to have one of that size in your car.
Since we're allowing other cars to make a piston that never existed (Forged +.040) don't you think this is unfair to the guys who happen to drive a certain model that doesn't have a cast .040" overbore factory replacement?
I think we make rules too difficult at times. Can't we simplify this? All engines can go +1mm in piston diameter.

I am not sure what you are getting in the first comment.
We are allowing exact replica's of FPR's manufactured by a different process...nothing more, nothing less. Do I wish I thought it was legal to do a .040 set-up on my car - yup...but you can't make life equal across the board. EFI mods to cars in a class where carbed cars run? Overbores allowed in a class with rotories and no equivilant displacement increase? The list could go on and on.
We could simplify it but prepare for CREEP. See the other thread. We would be allowing additional modifications because it was EASY - and it will cost more. WHY?
