adapted to mechanical throttle linkage if an aftermarket OEM-type
electronic-fuel-injection system is used. Larger fuel injectors
permitted, provided no modification or redrilling of manifolds is
performed. Electronic fuel injection must be closed, OEM-type
system
; i.e., may monitor only engine functions. Monitoring of
vehicle performance criteria, wheel speed, driveshaft speed,
vehicle acceleration, etc. by fuel-injection system prohibited. All
aftermarket OEM-type electronic fuel injection must be NHRAaccepted. A current list of NHRA-accepted electronic-fuel-injection
systems is available on NHRARacer.com. Open-loop systems
permitted on production vehicles as equipped with OEM electronic
fuel injection.
See General Regulations 9:1.


not saying it could be checked very easily but 99% of you are illegal running in open loop..

Brad,

I am not sure you are reading that right. It says that it must be a closed system reading only engine functions, not driveshaft speed etc.... The "closed" system part of the rule doesn't have anything to do with "Open loop/Closed loop" as far as O2 monitoring.

The later part of the rule that you put in bold clarifies that.
