Yes, Sportsman class basically allows anything EXCEPT for internal motor work, like sasquash has. I myself have exhaust, tune, and CAI and I had no problem. Midnight11 on here is running Boss IM, LTs, ORH, Bassani ABs, C&L Intake and a tune, and he still qualified for sportsman.

Technically, no, you would be in Super car class with the ZL1s and other like cars.

Although, since your car is pretty stealthy with it's cams, you might be able to pass as "stock" car, but IDK.

The gutted Fairmont on slicks had head and cam work, but i believe he was the only one. Some oddity's in sportsman this year, but all cars were similar in power.

Didn't hear that. That GS had an exhaust for sure though. Sounded awesome.

Like that Tech said, they wagon wasn't going to go too far, but he made it until like the 4th round or so. But had he not had those 28x10.5s, he wouldn't have even beat me. Lol
