Tate, not sure where you're at in NJ, but TAP is not limiting Motors yet. I don't think Family is either. I can't speak for the tracks up north. The general feel is to let guys run what they want to run and let the class evolve on its own as the numbers increase. I was told that yesterday at TAP they had someone running a 4.0T and another with a 4.5T lol. Most guys I have seen running in the 6.5 range though.
When I eventually get my truck, I'll likely get a 10.5 and try it, even if it's still open motor.
