Seems like someone ask this every month. 1) Emissions has nothing to do with streetability. 2) No where in the rules does it state that cars are required to have emissions equipment. 3) Do you know how expensive and time consuming it would be to test everyone in that class. 4) Not every town has emissions test and people can get by with off road equipment. No offense meant, but if FFW started requiring this, the class would die. It's not worth making a car emissions legal to compete in this class. And making people run high flow cats and trick emissions would raise cost and just complicate the class even more. I've seen many magazine articles dynoing high flow cats and they are only a few horsepower less than a off road pipe( less than 5 horses). So you still would win it. As far as carbs go and big motors, well 79 to 85s came with carbs and 95 cobra Rs have windsors. The idea of this class is for people with late model cars that are streetable (regardless of combination). As far as keeping it a 5.0, you could race trophy stock and be more competitive, even with emmissions.
