His car did not come factory with a Power adder, and in the new rules it has to be a stock OEM Power adder. The only mustangs that came with turbo's where in the 80's and they were 4 cylinders..lol

And if you read into it a little more:

-Otherwise, any pure-stock, street-legal car running 11.50 or slower (example: stock Dodge Viper) would be governed by the proposed new Pure Stock Street Legal rules, providing the vehicle remains completely OEM stock.

-Once any power adders or performance hardware are added to a Pure Stock Street Legal vehicle, it is then also classified as an E.T. vehicle

-must remain as produced by the OEM manufacturer to be deemed an accepted street-legal vehicle.

Therefore jordan you would still need a rollbar due to you have changed quite a few things..lol Not that you will be running 11's anytime soon

So unless your car is "COMPLETELY STOCK" as in the day it came off of the manufacturing line, you might save yourself the trouble and get the required safety equipment.

It's a Lightning supercharger, it has a Lightning pulley...... That's stock... Not really looking to run 11's, just don't want to be read the riot act like you got.... Although the Apten ported Eaton is looking more tempting now...

Yah and that riot act is no joke. They are cracking down hard. As the owner tells me after the second 11 second timeslip:

" Mr. Brooks you can keep racing but if you run another 11 second or faster time without the required safetey equipment you will be BANNED FOR LIFE from all NHRA legal tracks, do you understand? Great please SIGN here and have a nice day"


Stangler was like WOW...lol and I was like.......uh yes sir, won't happen again.


What a night.

Unless they're Ford certified techs they dont cant tell if its OEM or not, and the last time I checked they were a bunch of morons, so I'm sure that even a Kenne Bell would pass. Also it mentions several mods that are alowed such as exhaust and so on.

 

[saleenster]

Hell Ya!!! I can race every now and then and dont have to worry about adding a roll bar..

 

[89MustangGX]

...or you can consider your safety and performance and think about adding one anyway, even though it's not technically required?

 

[Joey Gibb]

None of you would need a cage anyways because your cars are to slow

LOL... die

Sometimes I wonder why I bought the vert, heavier/slower, weak chassis, and to top it off gay NHRA rules ... then on nice days when all the ladies are out... ah yes, then I remember why.
