Let's turn the clock back a few years;
Street Class was 2.8", with a no adapter plate rule, which meant all turbine housings must be T3. It was decided that the turbocharger restriction was too allowing, so it was dropped to 2.5" for a short time, then settled on 2.6" to allow 66mm S300's. And even for a period of time there were certain pulls that had a 4500RPM limit in this class. Throughout all of these changes ag governors were never allowed.
Flash forward to today;
It is completely common to see 75-80mm clipped/bushed turbochargers with T6 housings, dual 35" tires, and ag governors. And now, when the class rules should continue to advance with the hp gains, people just want to let it be. Even though there are components being allowed now that never were in the past when the hp was lower. I don't remember hearing the complaining and bickering when the rules were tighter, only when they opened up and made the class a larger spread.
