Cammed C6

Yep, another what class does my car fit in?

I read through the 2009 rules and don't really see anything specifically pertaining to camshaft swaps.

I'm running an otherwise stock 2006 LS2 Corvette w/ a cam & intake manifold upgrade. From what I'm gathering, I think I would be put in Street Prepared or maybe even Prepared? (yikes) I would classify my car as competing on the losing end of a stock Z06 (close, but not quite at the hp level putting up 450 rwhp, and no where near the braking or handling capability of a stock Z).

Would my ride fall into a class that would potentially be competing against cars of stock C6 Z06 level, or would it be in a class competing against much more agressive race type cars? I'm looking to have some fun and participate in some timed events, not build my car into a track terror. I wouldn't want to be mis-classed with cars that I had a clear advantage over, but it would be cool to be in a class with cars running relatively ballpark lap times.

Obviously a newbie here with some track driving time at SCDA events at NH, NJ, etc. A couple people have suggestion COMSCC, so here I am looking into it. Thanks in advance for your thoughts... they may be the deciding factor in selling this C6 and buying much desired Z... just kidding.

I'd say Street Prepared,A class. Disregard the rule about rollbars being required in Street Prepared,("Roll bars are required in all Street Prepared") This is a misprint (that is still on the current book rules) Good idea to have one..but not required,as long as it's not a convertible.Then,you need a rollbar to be on track.If that's a pic of your car,it looks to be a coupe.11.37@122mph..nice.

With good DOT track rubber,you should be able to hold your own. The motor mods bump you out of lower classes. No need for Prepared..yet...it's a bad disease...you've been warned..

Thanks for the reply and comments. That clears that up. It is a Coupe and I tried to not go crazy w/ mods... just did some engine work, Wilwood brake fluid, decent set of brake pads, and braided flex line upgrade. I just want to beat around town, throw the drag radials on for a couple passes down NED, and drive it hard on the road coarse. My last project went to the extreme and basically turn into a strip car. It goes good, doesn't corner, and stops fast when ya toss out the laundry at the big end. I don't want to go to extremes w/ this car

I gotta find a good set of DOT tires now, maybe upgrade the calipers, what about the shocks.., oh yeah and the stabi..., and the...
