I'm nearly certain STX prohibits me from using forced induction, which would seriously suck, but I haven't read the appendix to find out if there are certain approved applications for the FRS.
That's correct, FI puts you into SM class, which is affectionately dubbed 'Spend Money' which you likely won't be competitive in. IMO just build what makes you happy and if you autocross/time trial go out there to have fun. If you want to win don't spend a cent until you know exactly what you want/need.

Some decent tire info for you in there as well.

But the point in the above post is that while you may not 'need' more tire, I'm willing to bet someone with experience could drive your car at 10/10ths, get out and the first words out of their mouth would be 'needs more grip' even at <250 whp levels with 215 street tires.
