Re: Proving Grounds 2012

Brandon, I was running a good sized FMIC last year, and it got heat soaked to hell after even 1 run (dropping about 3 MPH in that 90* ambient heat). I cannot even imagine a SMIC being remotely competitive with the boost levels needed to run on such small turbos. If aftermarket FMICs are not allowed, you might as well call this the Stock appearing Evo class.

But a lot of good discussion all around here... I am really torn between enforcing a stock appearing (something like under Scheides' hood) or, having it competitive for as many cars as possible. My gut says the solution might be having an additional class for the grey area cars (such as mine) where it's limited physically by the compressor size that are typically seen on mitsu platforms seen on the street (4-500 whp stuff). 1-point to enforce; should make it fairly easy.

Re: Proving Grounds 2012

Maybe we should have two separate stock appearing classes, one for DSM/3S and another for Evo 8 & 9/Evo X? Allow 2g guys to run TD05 variants and let FMIC's slide? Personally I would also prefer to see manifold replacements slide as well, I know that its no longer "stock appearing" but its a pretty common upgrade for Evo guys...
