   Amen brother.  I don't think I could have said it any better than that.  I 
think
these two restrictions in P are the reason why people don't go to P from SP.
Think about it, the only carburated engines in use today are prepared cars
and lawn mowers.  I think the day Hyundai fuel injected there cars SCCA
should have made fuel injection legal in P.  

The same problem with the cantilever slicks.  After driving on radials on
nine inch wide wheels I could never go back to a tire that feels like an
under inflated bias ply.  They stick once they finally role over....but they
feel like.......yeeeeeuck compared to wide wheels and radials.  

Flame on....
