2/ they are way more expensive than i thought they would be. not just the $400 part, but all the install issues and engine tuning, again. if everyone was getting them and it had been tested, ok. but just one car type as another experiment? ouch.
3/ there was no testing done in an actual its car to see if they perform to the theoretical ability given the fact that its rules preclude many of the mounting and airbox options that are available in other open classes that use them. i am looking at the dimensions of the sir and looking at the small area on an e36 behind the headlight to put it, plumbing and an air filter and shaking my head.

Marshal,
Thanks for your rational and well thought out input...
Just a couple items worth noting...
The tuning issue... According to those who have run these on Dynos, as well as raced with them... NO additional tuning was required... No jets had to be changed... No FI adjusted... Nothing... the car ran exactly the same right up to the stall point... Then it just quites making HP...
Second, and I suppose this is also related to the first... these have been tested for over a year on a variety of cars... Talk to Bob Dowie for more information...
I'm sorry for the frustration this has caused, but I think it will be worth it in the long run for the good of the class... I have already heard of at least two new ITS cars on the way in our area because of this adjustment alone... People actually feel as though there is a chance now...
