Yes it is, and by the rules it should be good I would think.

Thanks man, I haven't even told Brad that is the plan yet, hahaha. I dropped off the e-85 this morning for dyno-tuning. I'm coming by tonight to put on the CSR trans shield for the car....After that, it's on him! If he can get it dyno-tuned thursday night, I'll take off friday and haul it up there. My son's b-day is Saturday, so I'll probably miss at least Rd 2 qualifying, but if i can make friday night and maybe Sat night, it'll be worth it.
