i found a sticky on NASIOC and i looked into SM and into (DSP/ESP) and it says that under DSP and ESP :
  • Intake water injection.
  • Turbo-back exhaust (no cats required).
are allowed...
so i dont see why i cant run DSP or ESP (whats the difference?)

Thats all ive found out but please correct me if im wrong.
thanks

Many clubs including SCCA won't let your car run because of the meth. It's a safety issue.
Without the meth it depends on your downpipe/tune. Catted DP with no boost control changed would put you in STU. Catted DP with boost levels raised is BSP.
DP without cat. is an SM car.

yes, if you change your meth to water, if not the tech will not pass you.

SM for sure. And our SCCA region here allows meth injection, but I don't believe anyone actually uses it at the events. I could be wrong though.

yeah they will depending on the tech. The ones in the nopac region were measuring my thread engagement on my lugs. Even it they think you MIGHT have something other than water in it they can tell you to remove it or not drive.
