"Stock Appearing" A turbocharger utilizing a compressor and turbine housing that originally came from the factory. And must be located in the factory position, utilizing the stock mounts.
We use the "Stock Appearing" rule for the work stock because:
1 The duramax guys do not want to take their intakes off. This requires coolant lines, etc to be removed.
2 It takes too damn long to disassemble each truck and measure.
3 Elimnates bitching and promotes the aftermarket.
I look at it like this. If you got your ass spanked, man up and build your ****. We have a very competitive work stock class. Out of the 10-12 pulls Jared hit up here this year he may have won 3?
Last year he had not won a single pull up here. Loaded up, drove to NC and won 2.6 and WS.
In the Midwest truck pulling is just more advanced. It's serious competition. I have a few buddies with duramaxes I help and they beat Jared, Alot. Lol
It's too bad he upset some people, but you will have that. Build this winter and come back. FYI, Brent's 6.0 puts the hurt on Jared's truck. And this was before I live tuned it a week ago and squeezed another 90hp and 200lb ft out of it. Sorry Jared.. Hahaha
