[QUOTE="jbp99cobra, post: 10498283, member: 23462"] Doug, Are you already running a lightweight flywheel & driveshaft? Here are all of the freebies from NASA: NO-POINTS MODIFICATIONS: 1) Rolled fender lips 2) Flared fenders 3) Sun/moonroof removal and cover roof hole. 4) Battery replacement/lightweight battery/dry cell 5) Air bag removal (must be removed or disabled for Performance Touring) 6) Jack and spare tire removal (required if not bolted down securely—must remove for PT) 7) Floor mat removal (required) 8) Wheels, wheel studs, wheel bearings replacement/upgrade, hub modification/replacement 9) Final drive ratio modification 10) Simple camber, caster, and toe adjustment by any method that does not alter suspension mounting points (unless the modification used is otherwise assessed points above). Bolt on camber/caster plates are not assessed points. 11) Ride height adjustment (must still take points for springs and torsion bars above) 12) Air filter upgrade (without modification of the air filter housing or air intake system) 13) Radiator upgrade/shrouding/fascia modification (drilled or cut holes/slots) that only provides increased airflow to the radiator or oil/transmission coolers (without aerodynamic or engine air intake improvement) 14) Starter motor replacement 15) Alternator replacement (must be able to sustain vehicle operation without a battery) 16) Oil systems and coolers other than added dry sump 17) Motor mounts and inserts replacement/upgrade or modification (with up to 1 inch of relocation of the motor/transmission) 18) Engine rebuild with head shave, block decking and 0.020” overbore—provided that compression ratio is not increased by more than 0.5 and displacement is not increased by greater than 1.49%. Forged pistons and internals are legal; however, points must be assessed for de-stroking, and/or increased displacement and compression ratio if greater than the limits listed above. (Note: 0.020” overbore with OEM rods and overbore pistons will yield an increase in displacement of approximately 1.1% for most engines.) 19) Engine balancing and blueprinting 20) Spark plug wires, plugs, coil, ignition replacement/upgrade 21) Turbo blow-off valve upgrade, modification, or addition 22) Removal of the engine balance shaft and/or balance shaft drive mechanism 23) Lightweight flywheel and/or clutch assembly 24) Fuel: Any grade of commercially available unmodified gasoline or diesel--all octane levels of retail available race gas are permitted. No “home brewed” methanol/ethanol/alcohol mixtures are permitted. Methanol injection systems are illegal. Fuel additives are prohibited. Retail available E-85 is permitted. 25) Brake duct addition or modification, including electric fans (water sprayers are illegal). Two holes may be cut or drilled out of the front fascia for brake air ducts. Any hole providing improved intake air to the engine will be assessed one (1) point under Engine 13). 26) Non OEM brake pads and rotors 27) Brake lines, brake boosters, and master cylinder modification or replacement. 28) Emergency brake removal 29) Non-metallic replacement suspension bushings 30) Steering wheel replacement 31) Mirror addition or replacement 32) Gear shifters and shift knob replacement/upgrade 33) Seat harnesses (must be compliant with NASA CCR) 34) Maximum of two hundred and fifty (250) lbs. of added ballast—All ballast must be of solid material (no fluids or shot pellets) and safely secured in any location on the vehicle approved by NASA safety technical inspectors. The preferred method is to use at least one (1) 3/8-inch grade-5 bolt, two (2) “fender” washers and a locking nut system for every fifteen (15) pounds of weight. 35) Data acquisition systems—telemetry is not permitted (NASA CCR section 18.7) 36) Non-OEM driver’s seat 37) Non-OEM front passenger seat 38) Relocated Battery 39) Undertray/ belly pan forward of the centerline of the front axle 40) No aero points for adding a hardtop to a convertible or removal of convertible soft top/frame 41) Seam welding of the body/chassis 42) Shock tower reinforcement plate (to strengthen tower shock mount location only--no bars) 43) Shock mount replacement/modification (only if already taking points for both shocks and springs)(may raise or lower mount location up to two (2) inches if no horizontal movement.) 44) Accelerator, brake, and clutch pedal modification or replacement. 45) Drive by wire to cable throttle conversion (throttle body must remain identical to OEM in both size and shape to avoid a +2 throttle body assessment). 46) Add front strut tower bar (two attachment points—bolted in or as component of the cage) 47) Add rear strut tower bar (two attachment points—bolted in or as a component of the cage) 48) Lexan windshield, rear window, and rear passenger side windows (windshield must be 3/16” minimum thickness). (See section 10 Safety regarding front side windows) 49) OEM ECU/PCM reprogramming or chip (must use OEM ECU/PCM box/housing/hardware) 50) Programmable fuel systems without control of engine timing (such as SAFC, VAFC) 51) Non- OEM sensors or alteration of sensor inputs (such as non-programmable MAF or MAP voltage “clamps”) 52) Steering rack replacement or modification without geometry change (ratio changes) 53) Non-OEM valve springs and retainers 54) Ignition timing adjustments 55) NACA ducts, air ducts, or air hoses placed in a side window frame solely for purposes of driver cooling. 56) Front wing window removal and replacement with Lexan 57) Headlamps, headlight covers, and fog lights may all be removed, and the holes may be covered with material that replicates the shape of the OEM light/cover, leaving the shape of the OEM fascia intact. Uncovered holes may be used for brake ducts. Any hole providing improved intake air to the engine will be assessed one (1) point under Engine 13). [/QUOTE]
