Don't worry about being disqualified by anything; the worst that happens is you get bumped to another class. If you've added something as simple as a boost controller (that's usually what gets people), you're already into the street modified class, competing with upgraded turbos, heavily reworked suspensions, and very seasoned drivers; once you're running in Street Modified, just about anything goes. ;)

A good place to check for information about the different classes and what's allowed in each is http://autocross.dsm.org/ (which appears to be down right now, probably because of Technomotive and dsm.org moving to a new location). You'll also want to take a look at http://www.scca.org/ for the final word on the SCCA rules.
 
yeah, I agree with logic. The only thing I can say from experience is make sure that your battery is tightly secured...My battery was kind of loose under the tie down and I had to rig it up real quick to pass tech....
 
Here in San Diego my big problem in "old school" guys doing tech inspection. Twice I've had them try to put me classes too high (I don't remember exactly which ones) until I checked the book myself. They don't always know what everything on a modern car is.
