I prefer a heads-up race for both the competitors and the spectators sake. Odds are that a spectator base will not be attracted to an index-breakout race.
A few years ago (one of my "I'm bored" weekends) I started playing with desktop dyno just picking engine combos and restricting them. Now I know that isn't the real world but if you restrict the intake and the exhaust enough on almost any combo they all wind up making about the same HP.
It could be interesting (at least to me anyway) to get some Stockers or SSers together and put a restrictor plate under the carb and put on a collector with a 2" outlet, get them to the same weight and see how they run in relation to each other.
