STU.10 ENGINE AND DRIVE TRAIN
A. Subject to the following limitations, all engine and drivetrain
modifications (including supercharging turbocharging) are unrestricted.
(This includes camshafts, head porting, transmissions, final drives, etc.):
1.Nitrous Oxide injection systems are not allowed. Nitrous oxide
injection equipment is allowed on the vehicle, but the bottle must be
out of the car during competition. It is recommended that vehicles
equipped with nitrous oxide leave the bottles at home, rather than
removing them at the event site.
Proposal Team's Note: Lots of these cars have NOS systems, but they are
problematic in a Solo2 environment. Presence of NOS equipment should not
disallow a car participating though, if the system is disarmed.
2.Engine swaps are allowed, where the engine block of the replacement
motor is of the same make of an engine block offered by the factory in
this product line.
3.All displacement limits are applied after any boring, stroking, etc.
At no time may any engine exceed its displacement as detailed in STU.0.
