Wouldn't be hard to make it fit... but seat time would improve my times more than a cheat.
I don't know any rules for autocross so some of you
may see me as a joke but check this out. IF you change
out your ecu for an engine management system then
that puts you in a different class aigh?
Some ppl have shown increments of 8-12hp just with
a rough tuning with a megasquirt EMS, with everything
else stock in the car (injectors, cas, O2 sensor...)
If you see here in this pic...
to the left you have the stock ecu...
and to the right you see a full stand alone EMS,
so why not hide the EMS inside the stock ECU?
get the juice of tuning your car while competing
in the same class, would this be a cheat, lol...
this one's for you RJ, lol...

Last I heard MS used a MAP for engine load. I am not sure if it can use an AFM. But there are a lot of resourcefull people out there who run MS and that may have changed.
You ever stop to think that you may need some help?

BMW, S2K and PCA are pretty much "run what ya brung" for miatas. X, Miata, Miata R or J class. ER and SCCA have some (OK, a lot of) classing rules. If you are not stock locally, talk to you class competitors. They may not object to your running non-stock. altiain is right about divisional, national tours, prosolos and national finals. Those guys will protest if the badging on your car is not correct. Last year at Walnut Ridge, an OBDII reader was used on every car with an OBDII port.
I think I heard some one say "If you can't go fast with 90 hp, 900 hp won't help." Work on the loose nut behind the wheel. Seat time. Seat time. Seat time.
On the track, I am fearless.
If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

Like the Tire class (which I am in), they use PAX times in order to lump all novices into one class. For example, you could be racing against someone in NCS, but they will use percentages of the raw times to arrive at a more or less fair and comparable index time. I can't find the actual PAX indexes at the moment, but let's say your PAX is .90 and the NCS PAX is .85. That means you will get 90% of your time and the NCS guy will only get 85% of their time. That way, you can race against faster cars (making a larger group) and still win.
I think PAX times are about as close as they can get to reality. However, I don't think you will ever hear someone say, "My class has a really good PAX index." It' just part of racing.
I'll look for you on Saturday and Sunday. I'll probably walk up and start talking to some other joker in a Honda...
