Formula Lites are significantly more expensive, 120,000 for a turnkey car. What is the most expensive FB, look in the for sale section $70,000 maybe. That difference of $50000 will get you a pretty nice FB. FB is still the most cost effective bang for your buck class going in SCCA hands down. Which is going to keep it viable.
KISS, when we think about an engine rule use that acronym Keep It Simple Stupid.
Any engine after 2010 that has a FACTORY stated horsepower rating above 195 gets a restrictor, single inlet with the factory intake system required. Any engine below that runs without a restrictor. Allow the factory race ECU, which we have already done. This allows newer engines in the class while keeping older engines competitive.
This way you still bring in new engines and keep the old engines competitive for poor white boys like me.
If you have a newer restricted engine you will need to produce a dyno chart showing your engine is at or below 195. Where will the dyno chart come from?
Appoint 4 certified dyons, West Midwest, East, and South. Hopefully with the same make of dyno. They all use the same conversion factors when they dyno the motors, and there you go.
Ok, now everyone can shoot holes in this idea.
