sorry man I'm not drag racing!! Your car with that kind of a swap would not be competative over all and would run is what is called SM or street Modified. The way the overall times are figured out at an AutoX event is , you take your natural time (what it took you to run the course in seconds) times a PAX number. This pax number is basically how the car classes are seporated. Like your car stock T-hybrid would be in GS or G stock with a PAX multipul of like .778 I think, but now with your engine swap your PAX for SM or street mod is like .835 or close to?.. The idea of the PAX number is to put all cars on a close to even playing field. So its up to the driver to be faster at the end of the day.
So heres the math on a 45sec run
gs 45x.778=35.01
sm 45x.835=37.57 motor will not make up 2.5 sec

So my idea is to build up a car for STS all bolt ons .789pax time
sts 45x.789=35.505 not much to make up in a few mods
