Hello all,

Im looking for some guidance on what is necessary to prep a front or mid pack 4th gen f body for AIX. I am not new to f bodies, as i currently have a '95 z28 with a H/C/I 370lq9/t56 that is prepped for autocross/track days in the manner of koni yellows, strano springs, watts link, Brembo 4 piston caliper in front, all new bushing/balljoints, all the other usual suspension components. Ive decided a goal to get into AIX can be attainable because I am not too far off of the mid ohio track record according to their website. Mainly what i would like to know is:
What kind of power and weight does most of the competition have?

I have read the CMC/AI/AIX rules, but still have a few questions.

What is considered a NASA legal cage for AIX. Is a 6 or 8 pt sufficient?

I realize i would gut the interior, but I don't know if the fixed back corbeau seat I have is legal, I assume it has to be a metal type seat?

On the website regarding rules, you MAY use lexan for front windshield and rear window. By the cars ive seem I assume lexan is REQUIRED front and rear?

I see how CMC and AI are required to run toyo tires, is AIX open to any tire?

Thanks for any and all help.

Unfortunately, the NASA Pony Cars site is way out of date. About the only thing that ever gets changed is the rules.

Pretty much on the engine choice. It's not impossible to build for AIX, but I'd plan for almost 4 digits of HP. Not sure how radical your 6.0 is, but you could change the cam then restrictor plate it.

Cage would depend on AI or CMC. CMC is limited to a max of 8 attachment points, AI is unlimited. Lexan isn't required for either series and is actually illegal in CMC. That goes for any glass.

Thanks again for all your help and input. I assumed glass would be a safety issue but i wasnt sure how people replace the rear hatch glass, ill do some research.

I did find the rules regarding the seat, and cage... It says two door bars are required, so i assume one bar would go to the floor, the other to the firewall.
I cant think of any other door to door series i could race the car in thats potentially affordable like cmc/ai.
