Aha! VTR Modified class :-) My Faaaaa-vor-ite! Keep the interior, though
or you move to Prepared. My new favorite class. I think.
However, if the TR250 is all stock, I don' think the header moves you to
Mod - whoops just checked. It does. Oh well. We're talkin' Mod.
And of course SCCA would be Street Prepared unless you change the gears.
Then it's Prepared or my overall favorite - E Mod.

A lot of folks in NET are putting in the Piper 285 cam. It has a really
intense lift, something like .470 at the valve, but only .278 duration.
Very smooth idle. Lots-o-torque. You have to cut the valve spring
pockets, though, so you might as well do a valve job if you go this route.
If you recall VTR '98, Frank Frett had the Piper 285 setup, he able to
pick the front right wheel about 18 inches in the air when he accelerated
in right hand corners. Looks waaaaaay kool. Of course I was too busy
talking to get it on video!!

Or get a G-tech and keep guessing. :-)
