As to swapping fets, I can't see how the rules could be interpreted as allowing this.

As to adding heat sinks, I am not so sure. It may be legal, but why would you? I don't think the current ratings of the circuit breaker give much of a workout to the fets.

I say this, but I have never actually touched a fet after a match. Does anyone have any data how hot the fets run?
