This rule is supposed to include all non OEM supercharged and turbocharged vechiles as well.
When I went through tech on Sunday, I told them that was running NX and he didn't ask me if I had a helmet or a firejacket.
I pulled this from another board, but don't have the actual rule book.
If the do enforce this rule, last sundays turnout would have probably been cut in half

The NHRA 2006 Rule book now requires Fire Jackets for drivers of NON-OEM Blower, NON-OEM turbo, and NOS powered cars.
"10.00 and SLOWER; all E.T. non-OEM supercharged, non-OEM turbocharged, or nitrous-equipped cars with an OEM or .024-inch steel firewall: Jacket meeting SFI Spec 3.2A/1 mandatory"
10.00 and slower cars without full OEM or .024 firewall: a 3.2A/5 jacket AND 3.3/1 gloves Mandatory.
other NOS, Turbo and Blower clothing requirements;
closed bodied cars 9.99 and faster with OEM or .024 steel firewall - 3.2A/5 jacket and panets, as well as 3.3/1 gloves
9.99 and faster closed bodied cars without OEM or .024 steel firewall - 3.2A/15 jacket and pants, gloves and shoes 3.3/5
This means that ANYONE who has a non-stock turbo by any means needs to have a firejacket in order to pass tech at the strip.
