not having a hard and fast rule wrt cams may be a mistake. those with the money could slaughter the rest of the Field, why not a spec cam by make, lift is pretty easy to measure and with over head cams duration would not be that big of a problem to check. all in all very well thought out but my feiro could not come play.

I put cams are open cause im not sure what max for mustangs and stuff is, maybe max 420 lift? And this class would definatly be a the more money the better class. But than that seems to be what some people in our class want, they like the 4 bangers and dont wanna move up but they wanna go faster. Keep suggestions on the rules coming. I wanna see what everybody thinks. And if nobody noticed I put max 12 valves still, but if we were to open it up to 16 valves I think they would have to run a 200 lb penalty and a maximum 1 3/4 exhaust or an indirect flow muffler.
