Real Street Setup

[fl59bug]

For those competing in the Real Street class, which I've been watching a lot of on YT, what is a "typical" setup? What mods to the car, and most importantly to me, its driveline?

What displacement, hp, heads, cam, carbs, oiling mods etc.? Is a built bus IRS tranny allowed?

Does anyone on thesamba compete in this class and if so what are your setup specifics?

thanks in advance

Ted

Should be a 'Rule Book' somewhere?
