Where'd you get those climb rate figures for the C.202? All the data I've seen on the Macchi give it a rather lower of climb, one more in keeping with the size of it's engine and it's wing loading.

I'd expect tuning to be just that, it should not involve serious modifications. Racing engines are banned so any engine must be a production engine. Some work is allowed to increase performance but essentially it must be a standard engine. Superchargers may be added. I expect folks to use their own reasonable judgement.
Fuel additives are banned and for the record Hrolf asked if he could use MW-30 or MW-50 and I said no this year. Its an issue that is thorny and will be left until next year's rules whether it is a fuel additive or a performance modification or a service issue system.
