However, I don't think that anybody would think twice if you threw "DSP" on the side of your car. Welcome to the wonderful world of prepped Mustangs and F-bodies. Whirling dervish of FFOG.

Thanks SCCA! And WTF happened to their searchable car classification table on the website? Is the CSVT still excluded from ITS? -- 1999 SVT #220 -- In retrospect, it was all downhill from here. RIP, CEG.

Thanks SCCA! Bullpuckey that it's not a performance mod. Being able to run at higher rpms than other drivers in the same car on long right-hand sweepers isn't a competitive advantage???

Theoretically, other cars not suffering similar oiling problems can run at higher rpms (safely) than we can. Or is this problem more common to other cars than I realize? Prepped F-bodies, huh? I had my fill of them in what little autocrossing I did back in '88-89 when I had my 1987 LX 5.0. Made for long days....

It was on the page with the different racing classes where the bit pertaining to IT said, "Improved Touring--A Great Place to Start" -- 1999 SVT #220 -- In retrospect, it was all downhill from here.
