Since the 2015 rules aren't up yet, here is the link to 2015 PT rules. TT rules will likely be the same.

Only reason I mention this; the exhaust/TP/header section is one of the few things to have changed from 2104 (plus obvious tire points reconfig). You might want this info before considering changes

Gotta read in its entirety. +5 includes header, TP, and exhaust

There were cars found to get unusual benefits (BRZ) from individual items, the way previous rule was written.

First , how u been

Really, I think it's more than just dyno reclass.. Go look at the new GTS rules. They are starting to try to account for "flat" horsepower, and de-tuned cars.

Personally, I think it's just a matter of time before its all dyno based. Really tt1-3 is already there. It's just B-F still not, and that seems to be a decreasing amount of cars.

I'm with the others, you don't really need to worry about setup and classing quite yet. Until you learn how to drive on track and learn the car you won't be able to say what combination of parts works best for you. NASA SE is a great group though, you'll have a blast with them. Welcome to the addiction!

Thank you all for the help and I look forward to seeing a few of you in the SE region. I cant wait to start racing, autox has been fun but it is time to get on the track and actually see what me and my car can do.

HAHAHA I am actually looking for a cheap knock off OEM or willing to trade my Mugen for an OEM black or suzuka lol but I am not going to make much changes when I get back until I start HPDE, except putting my OEM bumper back on though and selling my Voltex.
