  • DOT approved Tires Only, tread rating over 100 required
  • Must have full interior & exhaust that exits behind rear tires
  • Any ECU mods allowed (standalones allowed)


SA/U

  • Stock frame turbocharger
    • External wastegates are acceptable in any configuration
    • Intake and Exhaust manifold upgrades are acceptable in any configuration
    • 2G DSMs may run TD05H variations (14B, 16G, etc)
  • Must have full exhaust that exists behind rear tires
  • Unlimited fuel modifications (alternative fueling allowed, injection of methanol and nitrous allowed)
  • Any ECU mods allowed (standalones allowed)
  • Tire Restrictions
    • AWD/RWD -- DOT approved drag radials
    • FWD -- Slicks up to 24.5"


I was placed in SA/U due to my EWG. Honestly I would have much preferred to be in straight up SA as that's where all my friends (as well as closer competition) was.

That being said, if GT-R's show up again, it's basically an auto win in SA for them. I can't think of any other import that can trap 135+ with bolt-ons and still look completely stock. It will be interesting to see how MAP writes the rules this year.
You guys figure anything out? I think since most of us rock FP manifolds lets just rock SA/U, the GTRs can have sa. At least it will be a good show.
