Suspension, Rear: Rigid or 4-link suspensions are permitted. Air suspension is permitted; the compressor must be disconnected.
Tires: Tires must be DOT street tires only. Cut tires are prohibited.
Tow Vehicles: Tow vehicles are permitted.
Transmission, Automatic: Aftermarket torque converters, valve bodies and internal components are permitted. Transmission brakes are prohibited. Any non-OEM floor-mounted automatic transmission shifter must be equipped with a spring-loaded
positive reverse lockout device to prevent the shifter from accidentally being put into reverse gear. A functional neutral safety switch is mandatory. All transmission lines must
be metallic or high-pressure-type hose. All vehicles with engines running 4500 RPM or more and using an automatic transmission must be equipped with a transmission shield meeting SFI Spec 4.1 and must be labeled accordingly. A blanket-type shield is permitted; it must be appropriately labeled as meeting SFI Spec 4.1 and it must extend from the rear of the block to the front of tailhousing with a minimum six inch overlap where it is fastened.

Turbocharger: Vehicles are limited to two turbochargers only. Single turbos are unlimited. For multiple turbos, the inducer bore on the atmosphere compressor housing(s) may be no larger than 3.2 inches measured at the smallest diameter area
of the compressor wheel. A bushing may be used to downsize the compressor housing ahead of the wheel. If a bushing is used, it must be round, at least 3/4 inch long, mounted within 0.050 inch of the compressor wheel, and the inside diameter
of the bushing may not exceed the 3.2 inch limit. If you have any questions regarding the construction of a bushing, contact NADM Technical Services before the season starts. A stock map width enhancement (MWE) groove is permitted. No MWE groove may be wider than 1/4 inch. All provisions allowing air to the wheel other than via the bore and MWE grooves are prohibited. The inducer bore will be measured using a 3.25 inch plug.
