Keeps the playing field a bit more level, they say.

Whoa, nelly...are you saying that race officials can adjust a specific car's ECU on the fly?

I haven't seen it, but I know PCA scrutineers were given an AiM seminar to learn how to use AiM products.

Not an AiM device I don't think, because they talk about attaching to a plug wire...

Yes, AIM on an old car requires LOTS of sensors/wiring to get more than Tach and G forces...

That can't be right. If your car is legal in a GT class then power output (or driving skill) is none of their business. They absolutely will not alter the "MAP" in my ECU. If they want to control power than they better start looking at the weight/whp classifications that NASA and POC run. How arrogant of them....
