A common misconception. Prepared actually has provisions for an unlimited
intake, just like Street Prepared:
"15.10.C.3.c) Use of a fuel injection system which is not listed for a
specific car in Appendix A, or does not comply with the requirements of
15.10.C.2, will increase minimum weight by 10%.
15.10.C.3.d) Use of any non-stock fuel injection system which is not the one
listed for the specific car in Appendix A, or the use of such a system if
only "fuel injection" is specified in Appendix A, will increase the car's
required minimum weight by 10%."
It is clear from these two clauses that you can add ANY fuel injection system
to any Prepared car by paying a 10% weight penalty. For some strange reason,
you cannot do a similar thing with carburetors.
