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.
