Dan,
Thanks for the clarification. It just seems kind of strange that there are
such narrow breaks in the lower end, but a 500cid is on equal footing with
700+ inches unblown. Is that because there are fewer big big motors? Is the
idea to provide some kind limit to the top end?
Some day if there were more blown trucks, do you think a blown-only class
would evolve?

My question is this. If AA is the largest permissable engine size (500ci and
up), in what class is a blown 'A' - or is it even legal? Is a blown 'AA'
still an 'AA' since it is meets the 'and up' part of the definition? Or is a
438ci 'B' the largest displacement that can use a blower?

Jim,
WmTSmith is correct. The /MP classes are allowed the two class jump for a
blower. Since AA is the top and there are no blown/unblown class breaks a
blown B(up to 439.99999... ci) is as big as you can go.
BTW, the two class jump is from the old days before the engine classes were
broken into both blown and unblown.
