Well after the Winged Warrior event down in Indy I got some disheartening news on the motor. Ran a compression test cold (didn't want to waste the gas) and came back with 125-115-75-120 so she's done for the year. Up until now it's just been a stock motor with some bolt ons, but now (due to other interests outside simply autox'ing) I'm looking to build a bit beefier motor by raising the stock compression and replacing the intake manifold. If I understand this correctly, it'll put my fwd turbo talon into EP or EM, but I'm not sure which since I didn't seen any provisions for altered compression in SMS rules.

 If I do end up changing classes it's no big deal as I'm looking to move away from 130+ treadwear tires anyways. Thanks for the help though.

The intake is allowed in street prepared so it is definatly allowed in SM. Im not sure how you are going to raise compression but if its just milling the head, new pistons or new crank that is all legal in SM too (actually i can't think of a way that isn't legal for SM)sounds like you can stay in SM.

Cool, it kind of sucks that I have to read 400 pages of rules for other classes to see what's allowed since the sm classes just say whatever's allowed in This, That, and The Other flies in this class as well. Thanks for the clarification though.
