Dick, I would love to see somebody try something with restrictor plates and collector outlet size restriction. Michael Beard and I played around years ago with dozens of engine combos and when we restricted the inlet and outlet they all made close to the same power no matter how big or how small or what was inside. I know that is an over simplification and I don't remember the sizes that we used but I was suprised. I think sombody in Div. 3 tried something like that years ago and it never caught on. Might be an interesting thing to try for a "heads up" deal.
I think in this financial climate anything that isn't somehow restricted will fail because of the $$$ that would need to be invested. It has to be something that will use existing cars.
