Essentially left my car in SP trim and put a blower on it to see if it was mostly power issue. It was. I went from being a second or two off all local EVO's in ASP to being even and beating them. Then there are old vettes in SP.

Its big reason Im going onto XP. At least with XP I'll have a car capable of being TTOD occasionally at local level and I'd rather be two seconds off top XP car than two seconds off a fairly stock looking EVO in ASP. I hate getting beat by EVOs regardless of class. So I built an EVO beater!

Id agree stay in CS with a base 370Z or BS in Nismo and your going to have best luck. Everything else we are screwed with SCCA
With all due respect, I somewhat disagree. I think he can do reasonable (bottom of the trophies) well in ASP, if he is willing to build an absolute rule book car. I do not think a 370z is going to be beat berry, grice, or miller.

fwiw Tim Moyer is moving to CS next year and Alex Jones has talked about selling the Solstice so he may or may not be in ASP next year so that at least takes a couple trophy contenders out of the ASP mix.

We just have different standards. Bottom of trophies isn't something I'd be willing to do if I spent money on absolute rule car. Way too much money for mediocre results. Frankly if you're a good enough driver you could probably scrape bottom of trophies in stock Nismo

Just saying these cars are though to make competitive in ASP.
