Thanks but the new Comp type class is not pertinent here.

They're all FX cars, by definition (Super Stockers)

Your initial post and the thread title says FX, So what is the actual discussion? FX cars, FS, or FSS?
As someone who’s family owns one of each of the manufacturers, the CJ’s directly from Ford use DBW, and they are the only versions that do.

BC, That would be all the non- showroom, non- emissions certified, no VIN, factory experimental cars that run in Stock Eliminator ;-)

Thanks for that info

So, are you really asking about power management?

Or, is this just one more whiny thread about how bad the FS cars are and how they've ruined your life?

GUMP,
Believe it or not, it's the former.
They haven't ruined my life one bit.
But, an argument could be made that they ruined the concept of Stock Eliminator
