Lie ! Often and consistanly
Much depends on who you're running with.
SCCA would put you in FP ....if ya don't lie.
A stock 2.0L with carbs goes into CSP.
To be "legal" in CSP, you could go with a 1mm over bore. The cam needs to be stock.
In our local PCA, you would be in "2.5L" class.
In the PNWR, GTU.
Engine mods will always bump you up to a class where you don't want to be. You'll find guys there that have spent money on suspension and motors. Get the rule book from what ever sanctioning body you're gonna run with before you start spending money.
The SCCA book costs 25 bucks, AIR. Punch SCCA into your search engine. Local PCA regions usually have web sites with rules available for AX (if they run em').
