If you want to continue to use your current setup, it shouldn't be too difficult to integrate a Versa Planetary into it as it has the same mounting holes as the CIM ( you'd would probably need to use a different sprocket).

You might not have enough time to get it done before Bag day, but I'm sure there would be plenty of teams who would be happy to help you get it working at the NYC regional.
