Archie raced , but he got knocked out in the first round. Disqualified for rolling in the staging area and hit the red lights. his car went 10.90 though to get him into the qualifying runs.

They're in the correct class and used a Honda motor in a honda. It had to be the same make as the car. So you could put any motor in any car and run. That's for Force Induction Sport. The pro and FWD classes are different. The guy who won FIS should have been DQ'ed for not having a rear seat! I wouldn't have had him if I was in that class.
Here's the rules for Import face off


FORCED INDUCTION SPORT presented by Fusionworks Racing

PAYOUTS - $300 - Must have 8 qualifiers for full payout. Less than eight qualifiers will receive half the normal payout. Qualifiers must run 13.99 and faster.
Winner - $200
R/U - $100
Semi 1 - $50 - if enough cars for a Quick 16
Semi 2 - $50 - if enough cars for a Quick 16
