So i am thinking of competing in the solo events next year with SCCA.
However I am still confused on which class i would currently fall in.
I would also like to include this for the next CDC autox for the pax indexing.
Once we determine the current class i would be in. I would like to determine which class i would be in when the snail is added.
Per SCCA RULES which class am I currently?

Post all your modifications, no matter how small, and someone may be able to help you. Can't imaging adding a turbo being anything short of prepared class.

Re: Per SCCA RULES which class am I currently?
The SCCA really doesn't want you to add a turbo. I'm not certain about the various ST* classes, but it's a no-no even in the prepared classes. I can't even port my turbo for street prepared. I believe you would be dumped into a mod class.

Re: Per SCCA RULES which class am I currently?
Adding forced induction likely lands you in one fo the following depending;
SM (street mod, could be SMF, SM, or SSM depending on the car)
XP (where even Cobra's are not competitive)
Possibly DM or EM (only DM if 1.4L or under)
(note: most of these classes call for being faster than the Parson's car when its ON HOOSIERS )
either way, post up your car and we can tell you. (information located here http://www.scca.com/pages/solo-cars-and-rules )

Re: Per SCCA RULES which class am I currently?
Biggies that I am pulling from the list:
LSD installed (possibly ok for SP via update backdate?)
Coilovers
M3 offset front bushings (probably ok for SP via update backdate)
"diff drop" (Likely go directly to SM)
I head on Eta motor (Aside; super-eta bottom, or just rocking the low compression for eventual turbo?) (Go to street mod, unless the block/head combo was stock somewhere)
Even without the Turbo, you are likely in Street Mod as a result of the head swap.
Minimum weight would be 2620, but you can subtract 200lbs if your tires are less than 275 width, so likely 2420lbs. (these numbers reflect turbo) Note that this is NOT a street tire class, competitive tires would be Hoosier A7 and would involve swapping tires at the event (look into a tire trailer and a tow hitch). That being said, you can always run on street tires anyways. Competitive in that class is unlikely to happen without money:allofit.
Heres a peek at what nationally competitive SM cars look like. http://www.gotcone.com/photos/2015-scca ... nships/sm/

Correct supre-eta had a slightly different piston shape but used the 885 (I head).
I am actually not worried about the competition as it will give me something to work towards.
Looks like my only real concern is tire width and wanting to cut holes to drop weight.

Re: Per SCCA RULES which class am I currently?
you seem to be closest to DSP(my class yay!), just leave the turbo off and fit some 10" wheels and 275 Hoosiers, youll have a blast
