Chris, you will indeed be one up on the crowd if you get your chassis
developed by running in FS now.
The min weight for FS is 750# without driver.
That's about 950# with the average 200# driver.
That should allow you to incorporate all the extra strengthening needed in
the chassis to accommodate the larger motor weight and HP/torque, larger
axles, larger uprights, and larger brakes.

I myself plan reguardless to get the car homologated as both F5 and FS.
When and if the 600 gets the green light, I'll be ready, at least partly,
because I'm sure there will be other changes that will need to be done.....
Since FS is the only place we can play for the time being, I would
sugest anybody else that's thinking about it, to do the same so we can all
play together...

I
was reminded by a very neutral party today that even if this ever gets
done,
we won't see this in the GCR before 2009.
So we won't see any big number of cars fielded before 2010. That made me
happier than free beer!!!
Maybe it would be wiser for those who are converting their cars to 600cc
power now, to convert back until we see a rule change. If not, your
presence, or lack thereof, may be the straw that breaks the Camels Back and
takes us from Nat'l contention.
Come race with us now-then throw in your four stroke after we survive.
SCCA is keeping score on our present participation.
