According to the NHRA archives (http://www.nhra.net/content/sportsma...4464&zoneid=85) any future adjustment under the AHFS should be an index hit only as there should be no differentiation between the sticks and autos. The original 1.4 under hit that gave the autos 7 hp was done in May 2004. When the SS/AH class was formed the 507 & 500 horsepower factors between SS/AA & SS/A stayed (which I think was wrong!) Another -1.40 hit happened mid-year 2006. At first, NHRA announced a horsepower adjustment, then they rescinded that and said that the class would only have index hits from that point forward.

So, in my opinion, Daniels run should only result in an index change to the SS/AH class. If NHRA does a horsepower adjustment then that will be contrary to NHRA's stated opinion on the matter.
