Shouldn't be any prob's with the dump tube that long, as long as it's supported. It will be distraction for the EVO's behind you when the dump tube barks out a fireball.

APR GTC 200 universal with the base extension. If you have a NASA or SCCA competition license they offer great direct pricing for racers.

Final classing for this coming season has not been published yet. What has been discussed is a 4 cylinder FI class.
- 3100 lbs minimum weight for 4WD
- 2900 lbs for 2WD
Both of those are with driver. For power they are considering using an intake restrictor to limit power consistently at around 320 to 330 WHP.
Unfortunately, they're also considering not allowing any monoball/spherical suspension. Since my control arms are already with Tony for this ... I'm working on getting them to allow it.
This is just a single track local series for the MMP track in Utah. I expect there will be a fair bit of flexibility. They are working to tighten it up a bit from last year.
Is anyone running the Moton Club Sports or the Moton Motorsports dampers? Most immediate decision I need to make is suspension. Is it worth an extra few thousand to go for the Motorsports setup?

Comically still no final word or published classing for the season!
I believe the wing was about $400. I just bought the base extension to raise the wing height ... it retails for $80, racer discounted price $40.

Quick update on my first race weekend with the new setup:
I ran the most conservative map that we setup during dyno tuning. RWHP on a Mustang dyno with latest SAE correction: 285. No temp issues at all. Peak oil temp of 267 and peak coolant of 234. It was a fairly cool day though ... the real test will come when it's 112 degrees in July and August.
Turbo is Q U I C K to spool. I kept thinking it was time to shift at 4 and 5k RPM because there was so much more power earlier than expected. Evo's running stock boost no longer pull on me like they used to with the super charger.
Two qualifying sessions on Sun morning. I qualified on pole during both sessions against 1 well prep'd BMW M3 and two very well prep'd Evo 8s.
Shots of my car during qualifying:
Some of the other cars in ITE:
... not sure why this Miata SUV
is running in ITE, but it was.
I ran a 1:38.xx on Sat during practice, which would have been good enough for a west track record had it been during the race. During qualifying on Sun I ran 1:41.xx in both qualifying sessions, which was about 3 tenths faster than the fastest Evo and about a sec faster than the other Evo and the M3.
When I pulled in after the final qualifying session the brakes just felt and sounded awful. I pulled a front wheel ... and checked my pads ...
... N O T H I N G left. With no spare pads and not another S2000 at the track or probably in the state with a set of track pads for me to borrow ... I finished my day watching the race from the hot pits. 
The black Evo won the race and set a new track record of 1:39.xx.
Real racer: drops a valve destroying his motor. finds a motor and swaps it in just in time to race. Krazik.
Dumb ass weekend wally wanna-be: doesn't bother to have a spare set of brake pads and can't get any in time for the race. MSM.
