That's a good idea. If you're going to do it, do it right. I could've run the Turkey Trot last weekend but the car has no ITA mods yet. It's gutted, but otherwise still in SSC form. There was no reason to race an uncompetitive car in a 25-car field. But that's JMHO...I race to win. I spent enough years driving uncompetitive equipment that I won't run if the car won't be competitive. Racing is more than just a hobby for me, so in the long run it doesn't help my career to race mid-pack or worse. Maybe we'll race together at Moroso!
I bought an intake from Iceman. That was 30 days ago, and I still haven't received it. I sent an email to their sales/cust. svc. dept 2 weeks ago, no response. I called them Tuesday, they said they have to call their warehouse and would call me back. Never did. Called again Wednesday, same response, still no call back. I can't comment on their product, but if it's as good as their service, it's a waste of money.
Mopar has a PCM that increases hp & torque and raises the rpm limit to 7800. Anyone know if this satisfies IT rules (fits in stock housing, retains stock wiring harness, etc.)?
My car doesn't have an LSD, but Bill Bartlett drove it to numerous wins in the Neon Challenge, so I'm not too concerned about that.

The Iceman is a nice piece, The concern I have for it is that it requires changing the Battery tray. That in some eyes is not IT legal!
The PCM is just a different Cal in the same housing, plug and play. Very IT Legal.
The Diff makes quite a difference for those corners when you are down in 2nd. With the diff there is little or no wheel spin, without it you have to modulate the trottle.
The other nice upgrade for IT is the better rear Stab bar brackets.
Keep in mind that with all of these items you still have to drive like a crazy person to finish on the podium if a CRX or Integra shows up!
