I do know Billy and the install and termination of the harness yet to be completed has (with some of the parts being given/traded to me...TY Greg Hogue)...upwards of about 3K in materials, and a ton of research and personal labor because nobody has an off the shelf just go buy it solution, just to attempt to equalize my turtle (still unproven if it does, and we shall soon see if it does), from track-to-track lean it out enough so elevation tracks allows me to use the tech avail. to go faster at them.

At -.126 under (BUT, still competitive and still willing to face another in a class race too, I am happy to be in the show, I am still far from satisfied, will still try to find that ellusive measly 10 more HP legally, but the across the board
Index drop proposal sends me away to just bracket race a class car and takes
me completely out of the show at
present.

And I thank you for listening and explaining it better than I have as I felt like I was just howling into the wind. It was making me wonder if I should just stop on the Holley ECU install and sell it before my first fire up. I cannot afford to just waste 3K at this point if the across the board 3 tenths change went into effect and put me above index.

If all our theory works out to reality in the end...those are BIG IF'S, and huge learning curves, that are going to still need a bunch of dyno time to get sorted out too raising the costs incrementally much higher still I may turn a slow just barely there car into a mid field qualifyer, instead of the near bottom rock it is now, but...I need and am a realist, I will see that when it happens and need to deal with reality.

I cannot pay entry fees and associated costs or attend events knowing in advance I risk not running the index at with the car not broke and running perfect. That currently leaves only Pomona or a sea level track. Not many of those left on the left coast. And I can attest finding 10 Hp (while currently penalized 6Hp for no known reason...at present), is expensive. I am already out classed, this proposal of change throws me out of category if it goes into effect.

So there is nothing I can do but yell loud and attempt (and pray to be heard and actually considered), to be heard at this
point in time. The whole thing was a shock to me as I was in process of installing my new Terminator X in the pits at Las Vegas Saturday and Sunday.

It stopped my progress Saturday night at 11:00 PM to lobby after I saw this thread, as I must deal in reality not wishes and maybe theory, packed up the car, put it back in storage 10 miles from the track (did not complete the installation), drove the 100 miles home to argue my case here and at least maybe be heard out as to why I am so against the proposal.

My plan currently is to still finish it before our last bracket bash of the season, test it with shoe polish racing, get it in learn mode on a base tune, then bring the car home and arrange some dyno time to get it close, and myself learning about tap-tap laptop tuning. And as everyone knows that is a real learning process that isn't instantly real world easy.

This would be 2 steps forward possibly 30 steps back without any index drop, but totally eliminated with one. JUST TOTALLY PRICED OUT I will call it.
