Thanks but the new Comp type class is not pertinent here.

They're all FX cars, by definition (Super Stockers)

Your initial post and the thread title says FX, So what is the actual discussion? FX cars, FS, or FSS?
As someone who’s family owns one of each of the manufacturers, the CJ’s directly from Ford use DBW, and they are the only versions that do.

BC, That would be all the non- showroom, non- emissions certified, no VIN, factory experimental cars that run in Stock Eliminator ;-)

Thanks for that info

So, are you really asking about power management?

Or, is this just one more whiny thread about how bad the FS cars are and how they've ruined your life?

GUMP,
Believe it or not, it's the former.
They haven't ruined my life one bit.
But, an argument could be made that they ruined the concept of Stock Eliminator

Timing & fuel.

Larry, I believe that is a sequential build number?

Seems to work very well, maybe some of the other fast cars will take note! I understand you can achieve this with a grid ignition but I know absolutely nothing about ecu’s and how they can be tuned for this. It must be a fine line between a true traction control and pre set parameters. Is tech checking for this? I do know that they can check the grid for an arc module. I have been checked 2xs for that and 2xs for other electronics. I’m glad they did take the time to check. Just wondering if this is done to the new computer cars and drive by wire and the like. I must admit watching an 8 sec car on a small tire leave so soft was very interesting
