Aftermarket or modified throttle body, IJSBA

A sharp discriminator between Superstock and Open/GP.

This page is IJSBA only, and the bodies do not agree. The same part under IHRA and UIM. Which one applies to you is decided by whoever sanctions the race you enter.


Runabout Superstock keeps the stock throttle body even though the whole exhaust and turbo can be aftermarket. Easy to get wrong.

Where it stands, class by class

Aftermarket or modified throttle body: if the rule your class applies reads differently to you, or the rulebook has changed since this was read, ask. We answer with the section we read it from, or that we have not read it. Ask a rules question.
