Why did you list the thermostat or plugs/wires?

I wouldn't consider either of those a performance mod...[8D]

I think the only way you could lose is if you broke your diff. at the launch. Even if your car broke half way through, you might be able to coast to victory. But unless either of those unlikely situations occur, it will be complete pwnage. I raced a friend with a 90's accord, all I had was a CAI and UDP (otherwise stock) and raped him in the poopar.

i wouldnt even worry about it. not worth risking a ticket for a race you know your'e gonna win. its like setting up a fight with a 90 lb guy...no point, not worth going to jail over, even if he does show up.

unless of course, you've got money riding on it. just make sure it's enough money to pay the ticket.

well because a good ignition system and a 160t-stat can give 5hp gain.
