What the hell?  The SCCA runs classes in which OEM fuel delivery is 
banned?  "I'm sorry, sir, you're car isn't 'prepared' enough, you 
can't race."  How the heck does that work?  What's the rationale 
there?  I assume that properly-jetted Webers would have the edge 
unless someone made a SPICA 3D cam specifically for racing, so why 
can't you run the slower OEM setup?
