It's really sad that there is no tech in the SCCA.



The reason the rule is being looked at for change, and it will most likely go through, is that the way it's written now it's much more expensive to develop a legal package than it is to install a really good standalone. Finding someone to decode and re-write chips for 20 year old cars that the general "tuner" public doesn't care about anymore is pretty much impossible. And impossible translates into expensive. The intent of the current rule was to allow "chips" but the guy writing it obviously failed miserably and we now have $5k Motecs in a bottle. Why pay $5k for that when you can buy the Motec for half that and not cut it up to the point if it does break Motec is going to laugh at you when you try to send it back fro service? I'd recommend reading the banter on IT.com if you're up for a good laugh and hours of forehead slapping. It's amazing how little knowledge there is about fuel injection systems and what some of those guys think will happen if/when the rule changes. Some of them really think that when you bolt on an EMS the VE of the engine will magically increase by a factor of at least 10 and we'll all make 200 more HP and have traction control to boot.
