Can anyone advise? Thanks.
As Drewbot said aerodynamics bump you out of the 'street' classes. A tune alone bumps you out of C-Street and into STX I believe (but again, Aero bumps you out of STX and into "Street Modified" a very expensive and fast group to run with).

Realistically though, if you're going to a school, a non-competitive environment to train you to be competitive and your tires, brakes, suspension is entirely stock I don't think you'll be faster than a moderately prepared C-Street car (good tires and camber bolts are a huge upgrade as well as a front sway bar that are easily worth more than a couple horsepower and some aero at AutoX).

It doesn't hurt to send the people running the event an e-mail explaining your situation, personally I would put yourself down as C-Street.
