Actually, it looks like a pain in the ass to use forced induction.

7-6 Turbocharging/Supercharging –
7-6.1 All forced induction vehicles will be assessed an additional fee when registering for the season. This is to offset the cost for data collection equipment for these cars. Forced induction teams will also be required to purchase (from GRAND-AM) and install the following sensors:
ST453 Boost sensor with DSP ST543 IR Lap Time Rx
The boost sensor may be collected by GRAND-AM at any time to verify calibration and accuracy. Replacement for sensors damaged in use will be the responsibility of the team.
The data acquisition modules will be randomly assigned by GRAND-AM. Only a GRAND-AM official may access the information on the unit. These units must be returned to at the conclusion of each event.
7-6.2 Teams must install a 1/8 NPT (female) port directly in the intake plenum. This location must be approved by the GRAND-AM Technical Manager.
7-6.3 Teams will be required to purchase and properly install the harness and mounting system provided by GRAND-AM. Teams will provide the necessary information and access for GRAND-AM to design the wiring harness including providing taps and connectors for non-driven wheel speed sensor, (Note: All-wheel drive cars will have the position of the wheel speed sensor determined by the Technical Manager), RPM feed, independent intake manifold pressure sensor, lap time trigger beacon, and throttle position sensor (Note: An existing 0-5V sensor is acceptable for TPS, otherwise one will need to be installed by the team).
This harness must remain unmodified and unaltered in any way. Any repairs must be completed under the direct supervision of a GRAND-AM official. GRAND-AM may require replacement rather than authorizing any repair or addition.
7-6.4 All eligible turbocharged/supercharged cars must compete using the standard OEM production intake and exhaust system excluding the catalytic converters and mufflers.
Once removed, a replacement pipe of the OEM diameter must be installed in place of the
catalytic converters and mufflers.
7-6.5 Cars will be required to use a GRAND-AM-supplied data logger and/or provide access to their
data logger (if used).
7-6.6 Supercharged cars must use OEM pulleys
7-6.7 Any device that controls boost levels other than the production parts are not permitted unless
mandated by GRAND-AM.
7-6.8 GRAND-AM may mandate a mechanical boost control.
7-6.9 GRAND-AM may establish alternate boost parameters for turbocharged and supercharged
cars at specific race events.
7-6.10 Teams must provide a mounting for the recorder box. The recorder must be mounted in the
cockpit in a location accessible for download during pit stops.
