Power mods are open, because there are other ways to regulate power artificially, e.g. with tire compound, transmission limitations, fuel, etc.

My car in its current trim would fit into TTD/PTD/TT4/ST4.

I don't think heavy/more mods is the right description. Rather, it's a different prioritization on modification.
Sorry but I'm not following. In my very limited experience reading amateur rule books it seems that equalization of competition happens through weight/power and tire sizes, and then fine tuning from there. There's also the 86 cup, which uses points for different tires for classing, which I also understand. So where I'm confused by your response is what does 300TW tires have to do with V8 competition? Is it simply like the 86 cup where the points are better used on power mods vs. tires?
