To me this is simply a matter of enforcing rules we already have,

"Timed vehicle control devices (counters, time displays,etc.) except as outlined under Class Requirements, are prohibited.
Data recorders are permitted in Advanced E.T. and Super Pro only."
(Section 4 page 1)

It's obvious that a car needs an ignition system to run ,but "timed" and "control" are key to me here.

"Once you leave the line with the trans-brake that signals the uploaded Programmed RPM to Time limits (Slew Rate) to start."

Using a program in a laptop to change pulse width and timing could be compared to changing jets in a carb and re-curving a distributor but this is about Controlling the RATE of acceleration. I don't see the need for new rules, just enforce what we've got
