Another was that some people learn from repetition. Sooooo I tried to do all of those and you still don't get it. A honda with an intake is still a stock engine. A subaru with a cat-back still has a stock engine. An SVX w/ a supercharger, custom manifolds on both ends of the engine, injectors, ( I hope you see where I am going here) all put on a stock engine STILL has a stock ENGINE. It has different things attached to it. Those attachments are accessories to the ENGINE. So if you say a stock engine cannot have anything attached to it that was not original equiptment, then there can be NO boosted stock engines in the world, by your definition of course.

Hey guess what, I'm working on my Master's in Secondary Education so I know all about the diferent learning styles and such. I have got A's in all my courses so far. Just because I am debating you do not think you can throw it back at me saying that my students will be doomed. If students are not free to ask questions to try to understand then it is doing them no good to say "you just don't get it, this is the way it is because I say it is like this." I am saying, "here is point of view and here are my reasons." Did you also learn to see from the student's point of view to see why they are not getting it or that you should not limit yourself as a teacher with your methods? Make me your student, teach me then if I am so absolutely wrong. If you can change my point of view, then job well done, but until you can make me believe your way of thinking, I am sticking to my beliefs.
If you pull an engine, all it's accessories, and computer/wiring out of the SVX and put it in a honda, then it is stock because in no way has the way the engine operates been altered. And yes by my definition even adding some sort of F/I makes an engine not stock, even if just the F/I mechanism is added and nothing else, because it again is no longer factory stock as to operations of the engine. Hell if you throw a K&N air filter in the airbox the operations of the engine are no longer stock, change the gap of OEM spark plugs and it is no longer absolutely stock as there has been an alteration, even though ever so slight, to how the engine operates.
