  3. Warranty: my car is only a year old, and so maybe two years from now that won't be a deterrent anymore.

Those three things overlay on my desire to be at least somewhat competitive. I'm under no illusions that I'm going to win a national championship, but I don't want to be completely outgunned either. So I want to avoid half-measures. In this same vein, it's worth noting that CAM still isn't an "official" class at the national level, but honestly I'm not sure I care about that since they still get to compete in all the national-level events.

Anyway, I fully understand the reasons for the restrictions in Street classes. There's not a perfect solution that will cover everyone's preferences and circumstances, but they actually have allowed a few small mods over the years that help without busting budgets.

Completely understandable. I went CAM not because of AutoX, but I really wanted to make a couple of targeted changes for HPDE.


I ported my IM and TB, tuned for FlexFuel, tuned eLSD and installed the rear cradle bushings. I have no illusions about being competitive Nationally.
