a group of us from DFW go every year, they will allow a DR but you will not be able to pass tech in for 190+. Thats why i switched from my DR's to my normal street wheels with Nitto Invos this past October. It seems like every year they are getting stricter and stricter on tech in

Full manual valve body is some very cool stuff. From talking to Steve Morris he likes a carb a lot and it simplifies everything. Im sure you've made the same phone calls i have. I'll eventually be switching to FI but i want to shake the car down before i go that route. FI will yield much better street manors and mpg in most scenarios.


BTW in that vid is that the TCI 6spd auto with paddle shifters
