ALOT of stupid rules in there.........if they let gas trucks run.........id put a turbo on a 5.4 ford in a superduty with a 6 speed manual.......came that way factory with a 6 speed manual.......and watch alot of those diesel boys start crying.......and why cant a truck run a factory supercharger that engine was sold with......the 5.4 in the spoken of superduty........a turbo feeding the factory blower.........never says how many stages of forced induction you can have, just says one 2.6 wheel charger..............only rules that kills it is the no supercharger rule which is unfair...........

rule #2, id load the front frame rails with lead....

rule #4, its a joke, 75% of the dually's out there dont have factory beds, but they sure let single tire trucks run homemade flatbeds......

rule #7, are they allowed to run industrial and Ag blocks in cummins powered trucks since they are "technically" available in 1 ton or less trucks.....

rule #9, i love this rule, lets shoot the big chunks of turbo away from the truck instead of into the track...............

rule #13, can we run single speed kits in NP205's all they say is the case must be OEM.....



not barking at you, i just think its fun to destroy someones rules by thinking of ways to cheat.......
