Aftermarket supercharger

IHRA answers this part for 24 of its classes. 13 of those answers are permissions, with or without limits attached, and 11 are not. 10 are inferred from how the class is written rather than quoted from a rule naming this part.


Where it stands, class by class

24 classes, grouped by the answer rather than listed one by one, because an answer that holds for a class usually holds for every class that borrows its rules.
