STU should be STX + intake/intercooler mods + boost mods / new turbo + injectors. Also stuff like the ALK, tranny mounts, cross braces. But all still bolt-ons. That way you could crank up the boost or go to a bigger turbo (which might not actually help because AutoX isn't about top-end power) but you wouldn't have to compete with a 318ti that's got a super-charged M3 motor. See what I mean?  |
unfortunately, what you describe appears to be a Turbo Only class, as I cannot think of any simple NA equivelents to your acceptable mods other than unlimited which means welcome to SM, or NSM. SCCA is unlikely to have a Turbo Only class. |
Good point.... I guess the equivalent mod on a N/A motor would be heads and cams (or adding forced induction
) I guess allowing heads/cams would be okay... somthing along the lines of allowing forced induction (modifications or addition of), and engine internals, but the motor must be the original motor for that car, and displacement must remain the same as stock...
I'm trying to avoid the franken-cars you get in SM that weigh nothing and have 500hp. A class between SP and SM... where cars like my WRX, Austin's Mustang, and your Stealth would basically be near the max for the class.
