Sec. 610.63  Performance tests.

    The effect of a device on a vehicle's performance will be determined 
by performing wide-open-throttle 0 to 60 mph acceleration tests (at 
normal ambient temperatures) on the baseline vehicle configuration, on 
the adjusted configuration (if required), and on the fully retrofitted 
configuration. Tests will be conducted on a dry, level, smooth-surfaced 
test track, with appropriate speed-time measuring equipment, on as many 
vehicles as determined to be necessary.
