Help me class my FB.

My Slow moving GSL-SE project is finally rolling out of the body shop ready for the local solo2 season, and I was hoping some of you with more knowledge than I could help me figure out which class I'll be running in. I have a funny feeling I'm gonna get my *** kicked, so also let me know if there'll be any chance of my car being competitive in said class(but I'm really just in this for a good time).

Mods I think might be relevant.

-rebuilt 6 port with an atkins street port.

-Holley 600 double pumper and manifold from racing beat.

-Racing beat header and exhaust.

-Racing beat light steel flywheel with centerforce clutch.

-Racing beat susspension package (springs swaybars) Polly bushings.

-Tokiko illumina 5 ways

-Wheel and tire size are stock, as are the brakes.

Input and recomendations are appreciated.

--Alex

Due to the engine being ported you would not be in CSP. But the people in CSP may not care unless you kick their asses.

Just have fun and enjoy it. The class doesn't matter too much.

One thing you can do in FP that you can not do in CSP is run non D.O.T Slicks. If you look around the Road Course crowd you will more than likely be able to find slightly used slicks (qualifying/1 race take offs). You can find these tires for free or very cheaply. There is a little silver lining for you.

I forgot to mention you can also run in Street Mod 2 with the engine ported. But that class is D.O.T. rated tires only. You will probably have more fun in that class as it is getting more popular all of the time so you would have more cars to compete against.

^^The more cars in my class the better. even if I'm at the back of the pack.

I was planing on picking up some 615 falkins for my SE wheels and calling it good.

the porting and flywheel bump up to E Prepared. But you have to use a 2bbl carb in EP.

Holley bumps up to a faster class, not sure which one.

In FP you can bridgeport
