Question on Class

I've been running my Mini S in G-Stock. I'm putting on an intake, what class will that take me to? DSP? Thanks!

If all you are doing is the intake, you'll be in STX... a pulley would put you in DSP...

Please point me to the rules in the Street Prepared rules that allow changes in boost.

Putting an intake on will bump you out of G-Stock, but you have a choice of classes to run. You can run STX (where basic suspension mods and bolt-ons are allowed but you must run street tires) or DSP (same suspension mods, more power mods, but race tires are allowed).

I would just run STX.

Either class, with only a CAI will be very out classed. I hope you're only going out for the fun of it.

Oops, I meant SM, not SP... heh. That's what I get for typing too fast!

yeah, I figured since I've started modding I should just keep on...

Since the CAI goes in and out so easily I'd pop it out for the autocross and run GS. I ran 15% pulley, CAI, exhaust, camber plates and rear arms, strut tower brace, rear sway, 15" wheels with Victoracers and was only semi-competative in SM.

For Christmas I got a Quaife LSD, lightweight flywheel and stage 3 clutch so I'll hopefully be slightly more competative.

Go big or go GS. JMHO
