You are unlikely to have ever shoe-horned a Turbo-charged V-8 into a Ford Pinto which certainly gives it 'superior performance' compared to other Pintos and allows it to compete with cars that would easily outperform its stock versions. And if your opponent came to the race expecting to compete against Pintos with 2L four cylinder engines...well he is in for a surprise. And yes, wholesale replacements of major systems is 'tinkering' to me.

different capabilities than they wereprepared for and that may put him
off kilter for a while.

So does anyone understand Greg Chalik's objection concerning huge costs
over small changes in requirements?
