Clay,
       I do not think our cars are "chip able."  SCCA has changed the rules 
to allow any computer components in the Improved Touring race category.  
However, the stock computer box and the stock connectors have to be used.  
That is, it has to look stock.  I suspect this is due to an inability of 
scrutineers to easily monitor what is in the computer boxes.  SCCA solved the 
problem of monitoring turbo boost by outlawing turbos.  They seem to have 
gone the other way on this.
       My 84 spider race car needs more power.  The computers (ignition and 
fuel) are one place to do that.  I gotta beat those damned wrong wheel drive 
VW!
       Someone, I believe John Fielding in South Africa, was offering 
conversion computers.  I have not written him, but will copy this to the 
address I have for him.
