All, 

I have recently become aware of a possible situation with Car X (no, it's not 
mine). I haven't verified the facts, so let's just play the hypothetical game 
for now. 

Car X came from the factory with a given compression ratio. The factory 
replacement is now a different piston that bumps the CR significantly. So, say 
driver Y puts these pistons in his Stock class car. A CR test will show that it 
is above what is in the factory manual, but a new part comparison will show 
that the piston is legal. Which takes precident, the factory authorized 
replacement statute, or the stock Compression Ratio Statute? 

I know the pistons in question bumps the CR. What I haven't verified myself is 
the factory replacement issue. The info did come from a reliable source though. 

So, how is this handled in protest? 

Thanks,
