No cat necessary in SM. In fact, no cat necessary in anything beyond Stock or ST classes.

Cams in SM?
M3 is always the answer.
Not sure for the M3, but in SM I can swap cams, turbo, and all sorts of other stuff.
From Glen's M3, I'm pretty sure you could go FI in SM if you wanted to... in addition to cams.
You'll have to get real r-comps to be competitive though.
Put the stock exhaust back on yesterday. It's so nice and quiet now
New tires next.
For the people thinking about exhaust next year don't forget about the new 100 db max
I agree and I look forward to seeing how my new exhaust registers. With my current exhaust, I was the quietest car in my class at Nationals. My new exhaust is the same as Sammmy's, so it should not be too loud.For the people thinking about exhaust next year don't forget about the new 100 db max
Sammm is hard of hearing.
That exhaust of his is really loud no way it will meet the new spec.
Hmmm, I guess I had better sell it. Know anyone that might be interested?Sammm is hard of hearing.

whacha say sonny?
Geez give it to me and I can store it under my car for ya until you find a sucker to buy it from ya.....Hmmm, I guess I had better sell it. Know anyone that might be interested?
I'll be curious to see how well the measurements are taken and how this will be enforced (i.e., what penalties will be assessed for failing). FWIW my Stock class RX-8 was over 100 dB at ~30 feet on a dyno.For the people thinking about exhaust next year don't forget about the new 100 db max

I think it will be 100dB at 50 ft. As much as I hate the hard limit and think it will be a pain to enforce. I am very much in favor of the rule because of a few cars that are WAY to load and nobody being able or willing to enforce the current muffler rule.
My left ear still rings from being in the wrong place when a 3 rotor Miata started his car in gird 2 years ago.
Screw cams in SM just do the Active Autowerks Supercharger then you have 500hp.
You can do headers....you just can't buy them off the shelf...

Everything is bought. Send money.
Money........how about cat food and bad jokes
I learned this the hard way.....
Take all of your valuables out of your car at night. This includes taking the mounting hardware off of your windshield or dash and hiding the power supplies. I lost over $ 1,000 to a thief with no hope of recovering my items and to top if off they smashed my window in the rain and my truck got soaked. Let my loss be your learning experience.
So how is everyone's to do list coming?
Showoff
