I guess there are still many ways to tune the Usgt motiv motors without 'cheating' or getting caught...Can't wait for the Nats, but will they allow titanium motor screws, since the rules only stated aluminum and stainless steel ???

Any chance the USGT rules will lower the minimum weight for the class? Maybe from 1380 to 1350?

You might be shooting for the moon there. Heck I'm surprised they haven't gone to 1400+

Part of the idea of the new motor was to slow down the class. New 21.5 motors are as fast or faster than 13.5 motors from a few years ago.
